Sundial Quiz Book: v.4 (Sundials)

Product Information

We serve local Adnams Ale and Aspall Cider and have regular guest beers, great food, all within a welcoming atmosphere.

Before clocks were invented, sundials were the main method of accurately measuring time throughout the day. For another interesting interactive activity, have a look at our Sundial Science Experiment , which gets kids experimenting with sundials using everyday items around the house or classroom.An anthology of expertly crafted cask ales adorn the bar, juggling with expertly distilled gins, velvety reds, crisps whites and soft pinks. We offer 18 craft beers on tap plus five more real ales – many from local breweries as well as some from further afield! Sundials measure the passage of time using a pointer that casts a shadow when the sun shines on it, and as the sun moves through the sky this pointer also moves across the clock face which indicates the passage of time throughout the day. If so you will love the Trafalgar Arms pub quiz its hosted by a professional comedian and the night is full of laughs. The Canon is spaced over two floors, ideal for eating, drinking or watching live sports with our two big screens.

The size of the shadow is shortest at midday because the sun is directly overhead, causing the object to cast a shorter shadow. The venue is steeped in history as the brewery on Bell Street closed in 1812 and moved to New Street where it can still be seen today, though it was converted into residential flats and a hotel in October 2002. The Sun's diameter is about how many times bigger than that of Earth: 109 times, 1,009 times or 10,009 times? Whether it's bubbles over brunch or a relaxed Sunday roast, after work drinks or a night to remember - each of our bars has been carefully crafted to bring you something wonderfully unique.

This way you can tell the time by looking at where the shadow is cast, using the markings around the edge of the sundial base. Don't worry if you miss an hour, you can estimate where that hour is by seeing how far there is between the shadows of the other hours.
