Stolen cannon offered new home

Cannon returned to Cleddau Bridge Hotel

THE CANNON that had been stolen from the Cleddau Bridge Hotel has now been offered a new home.

The cannon went missing between the evening of March 20 and the morning of March 21.

A police appeal followed, and it was found after house-to-house enquiries, before being returned to the now-defunct hotel. Now the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority has offered to place the Napoleonic cannon outside their Llanion offices.

The cannon, one of two dug up from the ground at Hobbs Point and later restored, used to stand outside Llanion Park, the former offices of South Pembrokeshire District Council, which is now the head office of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The canon is the property of Pembrokeshire County Council and was given to the hotel on loan.
