Where Am I? No. 235 - Coast Scene

This would have been an army gun, not a naval gun, note the reference to royal artillery training school.

     However,  the land based guns protecting the entrance to the Mersey  and other ports and Naval Bases would have been mounted in heavy reinforced concrete placements,  and would have been  similar to the guns  on ships such as HMS Belfast and other cruisers.

They were Shore to ship guns

Again, apologies if this has been discussed but as I said watching the data useage, but could that be a telescope?

Possibly a telescope, or else just the edge of a flattish piece of rock which just happens to look that shape from this angle. 

Directly in front of it (to the left of the picture) is a white patch (immediately below the head of your red arrow) which I'd noticed and wondered if it was the top surface of another wall as it seems consistent with the colouration and flatness of the walls in the right of the picture. I can 'see' that this wall curves around your 'telescope' as I'd expect it to, but again, it is probably just different patches of rock that present a certain impression to the viewer. (Still surprised nobody has identified the 'man' I'd spotted in reply #52  )

If only they had taken a colour photograph life would be so much easier!
