In 1919 Fred Appleton and his wife, Kate, took over the running of the hotel until Fred Appleton died in 1949 when the hotel was sold. The family kept the Tavern clock as a souvenir of The Bear and it has remained in their family pass on to their youngest daughter, Mollie Cullingham, who had been living in Windsor and the clock had hung in their hallway for some 60 years until Mollie died in 2010. In World War II a bomb exploded nearby and caused the clock to fall off the wall and some sympathetic restoration by a London clock maker in the 1950s gave the clock a new lease of life. Mollie Cullingham's son has now decided that the clock should be returned home to be auctioned at The Canterbury Auction Galleries.
