The minute hand was a later addition.
I remember Robert The Books (the late Ralph the Books nephew) telling some unfortunate youth the time as 4 and twenty past four, much to said youth's confusion.Comment

Oddly enough, I found what must be the last postcard my grandparents sent me from Cornwall on what was probably their last holiday down there in 1960.
My grandfather's sister still lived in Porthleven & they would have stayed with her.Comment
