Summary[edit]

Description
English: Coat of arms, Union Street, Torquay, coat of arms of the National Association of Goldsmiths of Great Britain and Ireland, above a jewellers shop in Union Street. The motto is that of the Rothschild family, which originated as goldsmiths: "Concordia, Integritas, Industria" (Harmony, Integrity, Industry). Anyway, the bishop bravely ignores the depradations of the local birdlife.
