Beyond the "King George V" you can see The "Cannon" and the entrance
to the (then derelict) Holy Trinity Church. Between the church entrance
and the "Cannon" Pub a small Drill Hall was built for the local
Volunteer Artillery hence the pub name. The red-brick buildings on the
corner of Garden Street and Mansion Row were the quarters for the unit
permanent staff.

The "Cannon" pub was located almost next door to the Artillery Drill Hall
in Garden Street. It is said that many an artilleryman was pleased to head
towards the hall to get in extra “cannon practice”!
