Face, Lampkin House, Commercial Road, Gloucester (1)
The building to which is attached used to be a savings bank. The face, visible in this image, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2000055 appears on the Southgate Street elevation. The precise meaning of the faces is open to speculation. The tools above the head are those associated with the building trade or maybe freemasonry.

The precise meaning of the faces is open to speculation. This one could symbolise fruitfulness with what look like walnuts, ears of maize, plums and tomatoes. The bird looks like a dove.

Part of Gloucester's Roman Wall
This is a small portion of Gloucester's Roman Wall which can be found in Gloucester Furniture Exhibition Centre. It was open to the public on this day as part of the Heritage Open Days. This is claimed to be the oldest Roman masonry in Britain, erected in the middle of the first century AD constructed by Vespasian while he was commanding the second Legion.
