The clock which overhangs the main road portrays the figure of "Jack the Blacksmith", who strikes the hour with his hammer. The clock bears the motto "By me you know how fast to go".
The clock was given in memory of the first Lord Farrer of Abinger Hall who died in 1899. It represents the iron industry and the role played by the county of Surrey in the industrial past.
