Must have passed this one thousands of times in the last 30-odd years; it's only ~150m from my house.
South wall of Park House Medical Centre, Burton Road, Carlton.
As with so many walls round these parts, it's Bulwell sandstone, prone to weathering.
First photo taken from across the road - one elderly driver was so nosey watching me that he almost rear-ended a car stopped at the lights!

Found this Monday, saw it and thought 'mmm, haven't seen that before'
Bishopton (or as they now call the immediate area Dargavel Village)
Commemoration of a once massive munitions factory...
Dargavel was the old estate the factory was and its environs was built on..

Was that cannon used in the Battle of Canton?

I dunno...
I assume it has to be a replica...
I never checked the significance of the numbers...
I will now, ta!

Edit to add; apparently it was done to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ending of the Great War according to the company developing the area, the plaque says different.
Further research needed..
