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!
