Description: | Newcastle's 'Coat of Arms', adapted to fit the space of the pediment on the façade fronting Westgate Road. The two sea-horses are passant couchant and flank a shield bearing three castles, topped by a crest of a further castle and demi Lion guardant. A ribbon below bears the city's motto 'Fortiter Defendit Triumphans' (Triumphing by Brave Defence). The group almost forms a mirror image, but there is evidence of individual carving in the details of each seahorse. The pediment on the façade fronting Grainger Street contains two 'cornucopia' on either side of a wreath enclosing a bee hive, with 'Industry' in raised letters beneath. | Subjects: | Coat of Arms | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Not known Architect: Watson, John Edward | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7535... | Go to resource |
