Description: | A coat of arms set into a niche on the main facade of Almshouses which originally housed retired seamen. The main block consists of a relief carved grappling hook and anchor within a horizontally bisected shield, with the motto curling round underneath. Above this, a ship carved in the round tops the shield; and a stone beneath the shield carries the inscription, which also lists a number of benefactors including famous architects and bridge builders from the region. | Subjects: | Coat of Arms | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Not known Architect: Not known | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7539... | Go to resource |
