Badge and Chain of the Borough of Tynemouth, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Badge and Chain of the Borough of Tynemouth, 1850. The Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Tynemouth [Tyne & Wear], which was incorporated last year, have lately adopted a Corporation Seal, of which the following is the description; viz. the shield bears the arms of the ancient Priory of Tynemouth, which are, on a field gules three crowns or, to which is added a full-rigged ship for a crest, and a sailor and a miner for supporters, with the motto "Messis ab altis" - "Our harvest is from the deeps"; and as the principal trade of the place is in coals, carried by ships to London and abroad, it may not be considered an inappropriate device'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Badge and Chain of Office of the Borough of Tynemouth, as it appeared in 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, highlights the rich history and industrial significance of this coastal town in Northumberland, England. The Borough of Tynemouth, which was incorporated the previous year, proudly displays its new Corporation Seal in this engraving. The shield is adorned with the ancient arms of Tynemouth Priory, featuring three crowns on a red background. A full-rigged ship serves as the crest, symbolizing the borough's primary trade: the exportation of coal by sea to London and abroad. Two figures, a sailor and a miner, act as supporters, emphasizing the interconnected roles of the maritime and mining industries in Tynemouth's economy. The motto, Messis ab altis, or 'Our harvest is from the deeps,' further underscores the importance of these industries in the area. The intricate design of the Badge and Chain of Office is a testament to the pride and heritage of the Borough of Tynemouth during the Victorian era. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of history, industry, and maritime tradition that continues to define Tyneside today.
