A fresh lick of paint is being applied to the famous cannons which stand proud either side of the entrance to Nelson’s Tower.
The decision to repaint the cannons was taken some time ago, but due to Covid-19, the project was put on hold.
However, volunteer Jim Grant has now got the painting off the ground with the cannons being repainted black and an undercoat has been applied to the trolleys.
The plan to make the trolleys similar to the cannon on HMS Victory – a yellowish gold colour, however supply of this specialist paint is difficult, again due to the effects of Covid-19.
