John Cossins, a dedicated volunteer with the York Clock Group, is one of eight individuals entrusted with maintaining York's clocks. Among them is the iconic Terry's Clock Tower, a Grade II-listed landmark standing 41 meters (135 feet) tall. With its four 8-foot dials, the tower has been a fixture of York for nearly a century. Built by JD Davies and LE Wade, the clock was added as the final touch to the tower, which has recently undergone redevelopment by HBD and PJ Livesey. The clock itself was carefully reinstalled by specialist clockmaker Smith of Derby. As part of his duties, John adjusts the clocks twice a year for Daylight Saving Time (DST), on the last Sundays of March and October. This bi-annual task ensures that the clock keeps accurate time, including marking the end of British Summer Time (BST) in October. Picture: James Hardisty.
