“I’M THE GUILDFORD GUILDHALL CLOCK I AM!” Oh I’ve been knocking out time now since…eh….let’s see 1683 Minutes and decades flow through me The everlasting skies above me. I’m iconic I am dressed in my black and gold. I ( if I may be so bold ) AM GUILDFORD. The pride of Surrey. I watch the High Street as it runs down to that young whippersnapper statue THE SCHOLAR or whatever. People congregate about the chap eat sandwiches….listen to a busker busk opera. Only in Guildford! But it’s me they look up to! And is it time for tea? Why so it is and. . . citizens clatter over the cobbles. I’m the Guildford Guildhall clock I am! Tip! top! Ticktock!Ticktock! Tiptop!Tip top! TIP!!!!!!!!!! TOP!!!!!!!!!
