.........and the anti-aircraft gun from 1940 according to the hand-written date on the side, I have no idea whereabouts in Accy it was situated.

Look at the tall building in the background, if I'm not mistaken that old mill was on Hyndburn Rd.
Last occupied by Brougton's before they moved to the old mill at the top of Church St.
The barrage balloon was on the sight of what is now the Arndale Center, the balloon was struck by lightning twice during the war, it never caught any jerry planes.
Retlaw.
