My brother-in-law helped to build this awesome clock. I do hope it hasn't gone for good. I was privileged to visit the workshop while it was being constructed and I have a handful of photos. With Andy Plant's permission I've put them on my website, only now it seems I can't put the url in a comment here?

I worked at the Festival in 92 (for 2 weeks) in the NHS pavilion ouside which the clock was sited. I was so pleased that my birth town was gonna have it and it would be sited in John Frost Square. I only found out a couple of weeks ago that it had been removed. It's a great piece of engineering and i am saddened by this turn of events.
Thank you for showing it's dismantling. Let's hope there'll be a part two showing it's resurrection.

So the final decision was in favor of NOT restoring it and reinstalling elsewhere?
