* Until the dawn of the railways local time for the people of Bristol was 10 minutes faster than Greenwich Mean Time, based on the city’s latitudinal position relative to the Greenwich Meridian Line in London.

To this day the clock over the old Corn Exchange in Bristol has two minute hands. The black minute hand shows Greenwich Mean Time while the red minute hand shows Bristol time.
