1830s, Relocation of the Blackboy Clock to Nelson Street Paul Hawkins Fisher described the relocation of the clock in Notes and Recollections of Stroud (1871): "After John Miles’s death, the clock and bell, with the figure of the n****-child, which had acquired the name of the Black Boy, were removed to the front of the Duke of York public- house in Nelson-street, where they remained several years." Writing much later in 1946, Stroud News dated the relocation "in the 30's of last century" i.e. in the 1830s.
