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]]. A difference has been introduced by the substitution of a steamship for the sailing-ship in the chief of Manchester, while the bordure has been omitted from the Warrington coat. | |||
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. The crest to the sinister is described as a sword and mace in saltire, the sword enfiled with a wreath of laurel, both surmounted by a scroll bearing the inscription ' Anno Victoriae Reginae." | |||
The shield is supported by an antelope, collared and chained, and a lion guardant murally crowned, each charged on the shoulder with a rose. These are precisely the supporters of the City of Manchester. | |||
The motto is 'Navigation and Commerce' | |||
