So today we're going to visit some of the other places where I found the arms of the City of York (Argent on a cross gules five lions passant guardant or) used within the walls of the old city.
This first one is the arms of the City found on a public water fountain built, as it notes on its face, in 1880:
I love the dolphins and the decorations made to look like waves here.
Another was found on much newer display surface, the side of a Dial & Ride bus, "York's flexible bus service":
And finally, in a manner that can be found all over the British Isles (including Ireland), on the lowly but armorial dustbin (that's a trash receptacle, for my American readers):
Next time, not everyone who uses the arms of the City of York is necessarily directly affiliated with the City or the City Council. Stay tuned!
