This must be for a King George V-class battleship, the only British battleships in World War II to mount quadruple turrets.

Thanks Iain. Strangely enough my colleague, Colin, said exactly the same thing just moments before your comment arrived.

It's massive - look where the barrel fits in and a man is stood there..

Its one of King George V's turrets which was lead ship of the class that was built at Walker Naval yard (below). Mounting 10 of these 14 inch guns. These quadruple mounts were very complex.

These very guns contributed to the sinking of the KMS Bismark in May 1941.

Hope they had a lot of heavy stuff inside that carriage!

So who were the privileged to get a seat in the Scaffold grandstand next to the telephone box upwind of the Elswick Institute? The Crooked Billet still looks good for a few years.

Wonder where that carriage is now? Beamish?

On 24th July 1945 she was bombed at Kure in Japan and sank in shallow water Subsequently raised & broken up in 1946.

The manufacture and sale to the Japanese navy in 1900 would not have raised concerns.
