We have four St Albans residents all plucked from a different time period.
There is a modern day tourist, learning about the town history.
There is a visitor from the 1800s, reflecting the time period in which many wanted to see the clock tower demolished after it had fallen into disrepair.
There is also a Yorkist soldier from the 1400s during the Wars of the Roses when the first battle took place in St Albans.
Finally, we have the figure from 1915 painting the sign telling all not to commit a nuisance, thereby ending the ‘unsavoury tradition’ people had taken to the clock tower that required the sign even being painted in the first place.
I was inspired to try to reflect the varied points of history that the clock tower had to endure and wanted to portray it in a more lighthearted and even silly manner.
