Description

Summary: photograph, enlarged copy of sepia postcard of the cannon, Lymington, Lymington and Pennington, Hampshire, a relic of the Crimea, shows children, posted 1908

Identification note: see C Hobby 'An Album of Old Lymington' and B Down 'Lymington in Old Postcards' for names and more information. At the end of the Crimean War in 1856 Lymington was presented with a gun captured at the siege of Sebastopol. It was mounted on a new carriage made at the Woolwich Arsenal and placed at the north end of New Street, opposite the Workhouse. There it remained until 1941 when it was melted down for the war effort.
