Earlier than that!

At last here is my pic, four cannon/s on the Coppice, from a postcard postmarked September 1912. Printed/sold by Constantines Stationers of Accrington.

Here is also another link to the guns in Corporation Park. They came from the Crimean war - is the same true of the Accy cannons?
