Tank and Cannons

At the end of the Crimean War in 1856 Two Russian Cannon which had been captured at Sebastopol during 1854-5 were presented to the town by the War Office.


Later on they were joined by a First World War tank and were said to have been destroyed for scrap metal during the Second World War, although an anonymous commenter (see below) said that he played around them when he was a child and he was born in 1939.
