Carnforth's most famous clock is the "Brief Encounter" clock. The date of installation of the "Brief Encounter" clock is not known. The clock is marked "Joyce Whitchurch", who were probably the suppliers of the clock. Joyce of Whitchurch suffered from a fire in 1963 which destroyed many of their records, including any potential records about Carnforth. The clock became famous in the film "Brief Encounter", a significant amount of which was shot on Carnforth station. It is likely that during the filming, the clock was given false faces to prevent "continuity errors" with the clock showing the wrong time.
