Came on these Pictures of the Artillery section and the firing platform at Pill the other day while looking for the shot I took of Charlies badge.
Jane now holds the original badge. How Marianne ever had it is a real mystery. It makes me wonder how many other family treasures were given away without being offered to family. 
The top picture is the Clevedon section of the company and the lower one is the place from which they fired the cannon. Not from Dial Hill as some newcomer to the town tried to tell me they did.
 He was simply going on the fact that at one time Clevedon Council had put them up there at the top of the path that led down to Hill Road next to Cox's new house.
Top picture in which cousin Charlie should be soemwhere. Bottom pic is the platform that carried the guns at Pill.
Target was anchored South of Blackstone rocks on the mud,
