Geocache Description:

There is an underground carpark below GZ, entrance is off the island with the Clock on it.
The cache is one of our small one's so no pencil, please bring one and those tweezers thank you.

As a child I watched Punch and Judy just by this grand clock (it only seems like yesterday), which was not on the island then, happy hunting.



At the top of High Street, the Tower Clock which stands in splendid isolation on a traffic island, looks as if it has always been there. Well, it hasn’t. The Clock Tower was unveiled in 1948 and its original position was on the promenade walkway a few yards north east of where it is now.

The picture above shows the Clock Tower in its old location. In the background to the left of the photo is the Gaiety Theatre (previously named the Pier Amphitheatre). In the foreground, Professor Ted Green delivers the tale of ‘Punch and Judy’ to an unreconstructed audience.

The picture is dated 1982. I lifted it shamelessly from Chris Somerville’s marvellous web site about 'Punch and Judy' it is a shame this generation of children have not seen Punch and Judy.
Here is some history of a 'Punch and Judy'
If you have not had the pleasure of seeing a Punch and Judy show, here is a short one.

This cache has been set as part of a Waymark series, so if you want an icon of a Clock you have to take a photo of your GPS unit and the Clock at GZ and go to Rhyl Tower Clock .
