My opening comment was a quote from "What's the use of Big Sundials?" - but they want one so the project is going ahead. The landscape architect has asked for any available information on other large public dials in the UK between in the region of 5/6 meters high or over?
If anyone knows of examples erected in recent years I would be very pleased to receive a brief statement of location and some descriptive details to add to the list. Many thanks in anticipation, Tony Moss Tony, There is a large public horizontal dial by the Tower of London. The gnomon is about 8 foot tall. I can forward a photo of it it you want. It is near the Tube station and the McDonalds on Tower Hill. There are also 4 sundials on the church tower next to Westminister Abby. I forget the name of that smaller church looking structure.
