Gloucester's old coat of arms is known as the Tudor Arms. The horseshoes and nail represents Gloucester's iron industry, the boar's head is from Richard III who granted the Town its Charter of Incorporation in 1483, also making Gloucester a county, separate from the county of Gloucestershire. The two roses are that of Lancaster and York. This coat of arms can be found in the courtyard of New Inn on Northgate Street.
