This is one of the ancestor's watches, this and the next one probably spent some time underground at Broomhill Colliery; the original owner was an official down there.
Pocket watches were still the miners' timepiece of choice when I started at the pit, late 70s. Everyone had one, normally kept in an old circular pastille tin or similar. Not sure what happened to mine!
So......this one turned out not to be local. Made by A.H. Drinkwater, Coventry it says. Hallmark is Chester, 1896
