In January this year, Leeds Bronze completed a working replica 1813 cannon to be fired during the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations Originally produced as a casting, the replica 4ft long, 2 1/2" bore, cannon was machined from stock tube by this specialist bronze manufacturer, normally associated with the manufacture of precision bronze bearings and bushes
Further orders for ceremonial cannons are to follow.
