Without doubt, two ancient cannon were owned by the Kentish Artillery at the time as Walker built a niche on each side of the doorway to house the cannon and also charged a fee of $2.50 for "carting the cannon" to the new building.
The Kentish Artillery building was being used by the Warwick Boy's Club at the time and Howard J. Gardner, an employee of the Club, recalls the incident.

Fire Brigades Union London Regional official Matt Wrack said: "This tragic accident highlights the nonsense of the Government's claim that the Army are coping.
Also in North London, FBU members were summoned to a death crash scene by police because Green Goddess crews "couldn't cope." Soldiers had tried in vain to cut a woman from the wreckage of a red Alfa Romeo after it came off the road and crashed into a tree on Hampstead Heath.
They responded after a member of the public, who had spotted a road accident, raced to the fire station and reported the elderly driver was trapped.

 Food-Drying Kilns in Lambeth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The oast house is usually associated with Kent, and certainly with the countryside, so that it comes as a visual surprise to find two of the typical conical roofs, but without their traditional cowls and vanes, surmounting brick-built kilns in the heart of Lambeth.
One of the hazards of this drying process was that the fat would frequently drip into the fire and ignite, so that before long the fire was out of control.
Apparently it was a commonplace occurrence to call the fire brigade to douse the fire as often as once or twice a month.

Robert Pahre suggests that " 'Kentish town' is a reference to Canterbury, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury." Canterbury has been a city of pilgrimage since Thomas à Beckett was killed there in the 11th century.
These pilgrims don't have to be fed anymore, since they are dead: "no bodies to feed" might refer to the fact that in the middle ages pilgrims received free meals in the monastries during their stay and a place to sleep.
As for the information on the sun or fire worshiping, I found that under the definition of Magus in an Arabic dictionary called 'Al Munjid' which is considered the bible of Arabic language.

They knew that blowing the fire was one way of bringing it to life, but they found it difficult to blow on the fire and tell a tale at the same time.
