Guest Trefcon Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 City Guns at Kelham, to keep the French out! Took this just to have an image of it before the wood finally turns to dust! And finally, anyone know what was in the 'tablet' before Howells put their moniker there? Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was something worth seeing at Kelham Island this weekend then, even if it wasn't directly connected with their Christmas event. I take it the cannons are a regular exhibit as I have not had a chance to go to Kelham Island since its reopening after last summers flood.

Guest Trefcon Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Dunsbyowl, i couldn't tell you to be honest.

No is the answer to my question - I did read those Crimea guns disappeared during the "War" - I hope they weren't dumped in the sea with all those iron railings!
