Horniman Horizontal Sundial
7. Horniman Horizontal Sundial

 
Nestling under a magnolia tree is a dial celebrating the opening of the gardens to the public in 1897. The gnomon’s shape derives from the Horniman “H” and the name of Homiman is written in place of the 9 and 7 hour lines (1897). This however, may escape notice, except for the few visitors who know their Morse Code!

Design: John Moir and construction: Ray Ashley
