There’s something very special about keeping history ticking…
Last week, our Town Hall clock underwent a full service, ensuring this beautiful piece of heritage continues to run smoothly for years to come. We’re pleased to say the irregular pre-chime ‘bong’ has now been fully resolved — so you should hear a much more consistent and reliable chime going forward!
As these photos show, the clock mechanism dates all the way back to 1866, with the bells cast in that very same year. That’s over 150 years of timekeeping at the heart of our town — and still going strong.
A huge thank you to those involved in maintaining and caring for this incredible piece of engineering. It’s not just a clock… it’s part of Hungerford’s story.
Next time you hear it chime, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship behind it ⏰

🙏We need your help!🙏
The common is FULL of dog poo.
Watching for only 20 minutes yesterday evening - we saw 3 different dog walkers not pick up their dogs poo.
Currently dogs do not need to stay on paths and dogs do not need to stay on leads (as long as they’re under control of course). We don’t want to change anything about the common… so please please pick up after your dogs!
If you don’t want to pick up after your dog, then please employ a dog walker that will be responsible.
When you have bagged your dogs poo- please find a bin or take it home.
This evening, we’ve picked up full dog poo bags - this would be fatal to an inquisitive cow.
We don’t want to moan. We love being positive. But this is already out of hand.

I watch more than my fair share too of dog owners not picking up along the towpath too!! Shocking and completely unacceptable!
Dogs and cattle do not mix .
If you can’t clean up after your dog….dont have a dog. Simple
As a community we need to play our part. If we see someone not respecting the common we need to (politely) point out that this isn’t acceptable.
Absolutely! We need to normalise picking up dog poo wherever they do it, popping it in a bin, or taking it home to do - safer and better for everyone and everything.
No excuse for this !!!
Ban them they know dogs poo is dangerous
Lazy entitled idiots.
It's the same on the pavements around hungerford, disgusting, PICK It UP

Please be aware that the Vodafone mast within the Town Hall will be temporarily switched off tomorrow (Tuesday 28th April) between 8.30am and 5pm.
