The "then" photo of the Russian Gun was taken c1961/62. The cannon has changed very little apart from the barrel being capped, and the dwarf fleur-de-lys railings having been removed. A small garden area has been created around the cannon that has lights built in to illuminate the cannon at night.
The Russian Gun “the Cannon” was captured in battle during the Crimean War and was presented to the town in 1858 by Lord Pamure, the Secretary of War.
Year photo was taken: c1961/1962
