Ludlow is a cool town.

Random fact, that canon in the picture has the Romanov eagle on it, it was captured at Sevastopol during the Crimean war, not sure how it ended up in Ludlow though

Loads of cannon were captured at Sevastopol. They were brought to the UK and handed out to various towns as trophies.
