There is an artillery gun beside it about the size of a 25 pounder. |

Yes, it's a Mark IV Male tank. Presented 7 September 1919 and believed scrapped in the mid 1930s, but I'd be grateful to anyone able to provide a more accurate date. |

The gun is more likely to be a captured German gun - perhaps a 7.7cm or 10.5cm field gun. Not far off a 25pdr in size. (The British 25pdr wasn't introduced till a few years later, and was derived from the 18pdr which was still in use so perhaps not likely to be set on show in this way.) |

| There are some very large beach huts in this row. Some are twice the size of a normal beach hut. |

| Exmouth beach huts. This was a community in itself but there are now no beach huts this side of the road. |
