More about this scene
General Peel, then Secretary for War, presented the Russian cannons to Burnley in 1867. This seemingly unusual gift was made because of Burnley's associations with the Crimean War. The cannons were a popular feature of old Burnley, but unfortunately they were taken for scrap metal during the war effort in 1941.
