Hi Darren,

I bet this was highly decoratively painted in it's original form, would have been pretty fancy most probably.

Nice one.

I find the cannon pictured in the header very interesting as it has Jewish, Arabic, and Indian symbols on it.

Larkhill Jon, I don't believe there is much left at Woolwich but I could be wrong.
