Guns

Outside the town hall are two guns, Castor and Pollux, used by the British in defence of Ladysmith. Nearby is a replica of Long Tom, a Boer gun capable of heaving a shell 10km. Long Tom was put out of action by a British raiding party during the siege, but not before it had caused a great deal of damage.
