Manchester Coat of Arms on the Manchester Bank of the Irwell Street Bridge, looking north towards the Albert Street Bridge., with the white pylon of Trinity Footbridge beyond. The Manchester Coat of Arms was officially granted March 1, 1842. The shield is derived from the arms of the Lords of Manchester, who ruled the city prior to 1301. The ship in full sail is a symbol of trade and enterprise. The crest shows a globe covered in worker bees, representing the world, to all parts of which the goods of the city are exported. The supporters are a red rose antelope and lion derived from the arms of King Henry 1V, Duke of Lancaster. The Motto means 'By Counsel and Work' and is derived from a phrase in Ecclesiasticus 37:16 'Let reason be the beginning of every work and let counsel go before every action'.
