Last weekend Colonel Edward Montagu's Regiment of Foote were performing at Newton Hall. It was part of the Open Days organised by Tameside History Forum who in conjunction with Salford University had undertaken an archaeological dig at the site.
They brought with them a cannon which they fired on several occasions.
You can see more photographs of the regiment on Hyde DP Xtra.
I'll be posting photographs and information on the dig at a later date.

What a great, different shadow shot for the day! Don't get a chance to see many like this! Terrific! Love the uniforms, too. Have a great weekend, Gerald!

Wow! Great atmosphere round the cannon enhanced by the two men dressed in period costume! I have never seen a cannon "wagon?" curve-shaped quite like this before! Fascinating!
