One of Willenhall’s most famous landmarks is the memorial clock in Market Place. It is dedicated to the memory of Doctor Joseph Tonks M.R.C.S.E. L.A.H., a native of the town, born in Spring Bank on 5th May, 1855. His father, Silas Tonks was a master padlock smith, and landlord of the Forge Tavern, Spring Bank. After studying medicine at Queen’s College Birmingham, he returned to Willenhall and started his practice in Wolverhampton Street. He soon took over the practice of the late Doctor Pitt at 3 Walsall Street, and did what he could to improve the lives of the poorer members of society, for which he became known as ‘the poor man’s doctor’.
