The Clock Shop, 47 Main Street, Thornton

The Clock Shop, located at 47 Main Street in Thornton, was built in 1897 by Mr. Wood. This single-storey shop features a piend roof and is situated on a corner site, completing an irregular terrace. The most prominent feature is the timber clock tower.

The clock tower is two stages high, designed in black and white, with a raked slate plinth that extends over the lower roof pitch to the east. It has timber dividing courses and corner strips. The first stage of the tower has a clock on each face, while the second stage is louvred and topped with a timber gablet that also features finials on each side.

On the entrance elevation, there is a two-leaf timber door set in a gabled, finialled doorway positioned to the right, which has a chamfered corner. A projecting rectangular display window with a finialled gablehead is also present. The shop's windows have a six-pane glazing pattern above plate glass in fixed timber frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and it has overhanging eaves, decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and finials.

Inside, the inner door is glazed with decorative astragals and features a plate glass fanlight.
