General note:

Three sections of cannon mounts; 1:12.
The Market Battery was built in 1848 to provide a shore battery. It was located in front of city hall. "The outer wall of the Market Battery ran partly across the harbour and was pierced with embrasures for cannon. It was about 25 ft. high and about 6 ft. wide." The inner wall ran along the east side of Ontario Street from Brock to Clarence, and had a number of guard houses and entrances for soldiers. The Market Battery was dismantled in the 1870's to make way for the C.P.R. station.
