The Cannon, established in 1860, was previously two shops - a baker's and a grocer's.
The pub, and the road junction got their names from a gun that stood at Cannon Corner during the English Civil War .
The Cannon public house, originally called the Wine Vaults.
The Wilmer family from Gayhurst established a brewery at the rear of the premises in 1860 and it was not until 1980 that the last of the buildings belonging to brewery including the tall chimney were demolished.
