WATCHMAKERresized.JPG

The Mayor of Shantytown.

This shop was made in honour one of the founders of Shantytown, Barney Sutherland.
 

Usually the skills of a watchmaker and jeweller were combined in smaller towns to make the businesses viable. Clocks and watches were expensive items (costing at least two weeks wages) they would always be repaired rather than thrown away. Along with jewellery, clocks and watches shops like this would sell ornaments, giftware and presentation cups.
