 The arms combine the arms of the City of [[Manchester]] in the upper half, and in base the arms of the City of [[Salford]] impaling those of the County Borough of [[Warrington]].

-Above the shield is Manchester's crest of a terrestrial glove semé of bees volant, placed between two other crests on torses resting on the top of the shield. That on the dexter is a demi-lion supporting a staff and therefrom flying to the dexter a flag — presumably based on the crest of Salford but omitting the shuttle with which the flag is charged.
