3.7-inch Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun, Swansea
The 3.7-inch Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun right next to the Tawe Bridge, is a memorial which commemorates the victims of German Air Raids. This kind of gun was designed and produced in 1937, and was used primarily in World War II. A brand new 3.7-inch AA Gun would normally weigh 9,317kg, so presumably that is the weight of this particular one.
