Stephen Parr – The clock at Corris

An active volunteer guard on the Corris Railway and lifelong rail enthusiast, Stephen’s passion for the steam railways started in the 1960’s, travelling from Birmingham’s Snow Hill station to Reading where he would visit his grandad Wilfred.

His enthusiasm for the railway has taken him on trains around the world. But it is his connection to Wilfred, a GWR clock maker that makes this story special and takes us full circle, the clock in Corris was most likely one of the over 200 clocks made by his grandfather.
