THE silence in a room once filled with the sounds of ticking clocks is a fitting tribute to one man.
Bill Munro, a biochemist and head of science at Risedale Community College in Catterick, until his retirement, dedicated 15 years to the fascinating collection in the Clock Room at the King's Head Hotel in Richmond. But most of the clocks have failed to keep time or have stopped altogether since Mr Munro died earlier this year.
He began helping out when the collection was established in the Eighties.
"We are looking for anyone who shares Bill's passion," said manager Kay Robinson.
