Coments received :

The Norbury Watch and Clock was set up by my uncle Leonard Stanley Norman; the company: Norbury Clock and Watch, was set up before/during WW2 and manufactured instruments (altimeter etc) for aircraft I guess under licence for the War Dept, Air. After the war, like many other small clock makers, they purchased clock parts from J. Smith & Sons, Clerkenwell and other suppliers for the manufacture of clocks among which were small travel alarms (folding/encased). I have now located the factory which also had, on the main road, a retail shop, I believe run by Victor Norman also my uncle and his younger brother.
