Floral Clock

In the 1950s there was a fashion for public clocks, copying American examples.  There were 2 other clocks in New Zealand.  Mr Hurst was a member of Napier's Thirty Thousand Club, an organisation whose goal it was to advance the welfare of Napier.  Hurst was also a photographer and was chairman of the council's town planning committee.

  1. It's beautiful work! You can find them here and there in this part of the world; there's one near where my father lives.
