TIDE CLOCK IN Co. Clare VILLAGE

    Hi there is a small, remote village in Co. Clare near the coast, It has a 'TIDE CLOCK' on one of its buildings. That is a clock with markings for high and low tides and the hours in between, which was useful for holidaymakers planning time on a beach, probably more a thing in the Sixties and I doubt if its hands are still working.
    Maybe BOARDS members could let me know the village name and location, or they may know of a similiar public tide clock in another county. That would also be of interest. Thank you.

    I never heard of it anyway. And I know lots of villages in West Clare.

    I feel like there used to be one on the side of the O'Looneys building in Lahinch.

    You could be right . I remember the clock giving the time and temperature.
    Also there was a blackboard with the tide times outside O Looneys I think.

    I think Tideline is looking for the village in Clare with the tide-clock.
    not how to find high or low tide times.

    I realized that but thought I would keep things rolling on why the search for the clock on the wall rambled onwards ...
