Warmley Clock Tower: Halloween 2022

Season: 3 Episode: 38

He prospered until his patent ran out, then his rivals started to use his processes and he went bankrupt.

This episode not only tells you more about this remarkable character but you also get to hear exactly what happened when we were invited on a paranormal investigation in the Warmley Clock Tower, part of William's manufacturing complex. Let me tell you, it wasn't a peaceful night...
