Reviews about Cannon Square
- Dom Battersby Review added: 2018.04.14★ ★ ★ ★ ☆The Cannon bears inscription 'Captured Sevastopol 1855'. After the end of the Crimean War in 1856 the cannon was captured . Retford received the cannon as a trophy, and in April 1858 the 24-pounder was delivered by rail. It was given the name ‘The Earl of Aberdeen’. The Cannon was officially unveiled on the 17 February 1859 by Gunner Cole (of the Royal Artillery). The cannon was removed during the scrap drive of the Second World War, but was rescued by Mr R.G. Bradshaw (Alderman of Retford). The cannon was reinstated after the Second World War, set on a new wooden gun carriage, being officially unveiled on the 29 March 1950 by the Mayor of Retford, Councillor T. Richmond.
