No idea why she has a broomstick? But would love to find the park. The gun looks like a captured German one from the first world war? Pic was probably taken in the 1930s.

Both Wigan and Ince Councils received WW1 guns - as did many around the country.

Many thanks David, do you mean British guns or captured German ones?

Four German guns were sought for Wigan - for Mesnes Park and Alexandra Park.
