Time for a little more investigation!
This clock was purchased by Kim Cradduck in New York America, which she has now repaired to working order.
After some research by her, she found from the Barbers Almanac 1926 an entry from June 16th, 1925 about a dinner which was held at Cinema Hall in Littleport by LTFC, where a presentation of a clock was made to Mr R B Thurlow, Captain of LTFC.
This is all the information we have at present, and we're looking for more, so if anyone has any please email us at support@portfc.co.uk

Memorial Cup boosts good cause
Littleport Town FC presented a cheque for more than £250 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society this week. The club raised the sum from the proceeds of the Mick North Memorial Cup, an annual pre-season knock-out tournament that draws the region’s top teams.
For this year’s event the FA provided free match officials and Littleport Leisure Centre helped out with free bar staff. This season’s competition was won by Soham Town Rangers Reserves, who beat host team Littleport 3-0 on penalties, following a gripping final.
Pictured above, the cheque was presented by Littleport Town FC Chairman Bob Bowditch to M.S Society members Rita Read, Chris Bowles and Hilary South.
