The Welsh dragon on the left carries a sickle to represent farming interests. The Griffin, a mythical animal with a lion's body and an eagle's beak is shown carrying a miner's lamp to represent the tradition of coal mining in the area. This comes from the heraldry of the Gladstone family of Hawarden. In the Gladstone crest only the upper half of the beast is used, here the lower half is added. This seeks to represent all the families in the area including the Gladstones. | The Welsh dragon on the left carries a sickle to represent farming interests.
