Close up of the coat of arms in the New Council Chamber (see Image). Compare the coat of arms of the original Borough of Reigate (see Image), the area of which was expanded following local government reorganisation in 1974. Although based around the original arms (and its subsequent successor, a new set having been granted in 1951), including retention of the original motto, it had components added representing the new areas added to the Borough, namely Banstead to the north and Sidlow, Salfords and Horley to the south. See http://www.ngw.nl/int/gbr/r/reigateb.htm for full description. Note the arms of the original Borough in the Mayor's Chair, the top of which can be seen at the foot of the photo.
