This old postcard showing woodland opposite the Speech House also shows one of the two cannons that stood there for many years. The plinth on the right, that marks the centre of the Forest of Dean, is yet to have it's pillar re-instated.

Does anyone know anything about the cannons? or what happened to them? If so, please click below

Thanks to Went Phillips, who added (June 2007): "I believe that the cannons were melted down for scrap metal during the war. There were 2 small cannons and one large one".
