“Security Ltd”, City of London: lions passant

3 Comments Posted by on September 4, 2012

“Security Ltd” burglar alarm, City of London • This shows three lions “passant”, as on the Royal Arms of England, dating from the 1198 Great Seal of the Realm. How things last: if only the seal’s first owner, Richard I, could have known the design would endure to enhance burglar alarms and football kit over 800 years later. Oddly, there’s no actual firm’s name on this, unless they’re just called Security Limited. Maybe they are. • Spotted: Aldersgate Street, City of London, London, EC1, England, 2006 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and Westminster
