It's hard to realise that in  earlier centuries there were different time zones in Britain.  Even when Greenwich Meantime was introduced.

It wasn't until the introduction of the railways that eventually the Great Western Railway (GWR) stopped quoting the local time in each town that clocks around the country all showed the same time.
