A PAIR of antique decorative cannons have found a home in Barnsley - at Cannon Hall.
They have been lovingly restored by local blacksmith Nigel Tyas and put on display at the stately home, allowing visitors to inspect the beautifully crafted pieces cast with intricate designs of eagles and other details.
Sue Thiedeman, council culture boss, said the cannons, which were originally at the Cooper Gallery, are a ‘wonderful find’ and Barnsley Museums worked hard to have them restored in time to go on show for the ‘Cannon! at Cannon’ bank holiday event.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
