As a history nut and a Limey-Canuck, I'm always intrigued when I see an old Napoleonic War cast-iron cannon in a city park. I was wonder if there is a listing of where all these cannons are. Do you have one in your neighbourhood?
I know of one in Riverdale Farm West, next to the old Riverdale Hospital. There are of course several at Fort York, plus IIRC at least one at the French-built Fort Rouillé at the CNE, plus a few at Queen's Park.
If you look carefully, you can usually read the year the gun was made on the breech markings.
