UPDATED #COVID19 Guidance on #BelfastCoatOfArmsHunt ~ only take pics on essential travel, observe #SocialDistancing & post leads from home if possible. No Streetview pics please as we want a genuine set of photos by folk. Thanks 🏢💞👐
Also translated as: "In return for so much, what shall we give back" ~ the motto of #Belfast's Coat of Arms. After our ace city #boundarypost marker hunting & gathering game last year... let's go collect all the examples of the #BelfastCoatOfArms 🏢😊📷💪 https://t.co/BsET3SYPfT

DID YOU KNOW? Belfast's motto is “Pro tanto quid retribuamus” which translates to “We received so much, what can we give in return” AND Belfast's symbol is a seahorse Chosen to celebrate the city's maritime history and origins establishing its wealth in the shipbuilding industry

#BelfastCoatOfArms hunt... okay, not really No.2 either... BUT.. at least now we now know why there are #seahorses on #bollards found all around #Belfast as they're part of the city's crest! 🏢💕👐 [Guidance: take pics only on essential travel #StayAtHome]
There're Seahorses all over #Sailortown too. Here's one outside the Dockers @GreatplaceB @CarnegieOldpark

Art Deco curves and flat roofs the trade mark of the era.Iconic design. AW Ecclestone and the Lacons Brewery employed their own Master Builders. Everything was done in house. The Iron Duke was built as their flagship Pub. #artdeco #pubs #greatyarmouth #architecture

Spot on... where has the elegance gone in most present-day architecture..? Too many dreary, un-crafted & loveless buildings. Let's bring the elegance back! 🏢💓💡

@amsterdam_type @AodhBC @stadsarchief The Netherlands have such a great multilingual culture I know; indeed most European countries do. I love this typography and the face is superb...

AW Ecclestone was a visionary Architect. The Iron Duke is arguably his finest work , cutting edge for it’s day. The Avenues is a stunning example of mock tudor showing how broad his range was.The Never Turn Back in Caister is also Listed.

Big love to @Westbeer for the stance they're taking to not supply Wetherspoons anymore. We need to have a look at how the companies we support are treating their workers at the most vulnerable time in their lives. Looking forward to ordering some beer from them in the future.
