  • This is actually a submarine's main gun - inscription on its side reads " This gun taken from German submarine UB19 - was allotted to Bangor County Down by the Admiralty in recognition of the valorous conduct of commander the Hon. Edward Barry Stewart Bingham of HMS Nestor at the Battle of Jutland on the 31st May 1916 for which he received the Victoria Cross "
