Thought you might be interested in these links - to 'another' Trafalgar Square - up our way!
Seems it was built before the 'other' one.

Well! You learn something new every day! Interesting post, MTS!

Unlike the Sunderland Trafalgar Square, the one in London was to have been called 'George 1V Square' until the new name was suggested - so Sunderland was way ahead.

Emmteeyess,

That's an interesting post. The coat of arms would appear to be based on that of Lord Nelson, although with some differences.
