THE LION BRIDGE

You'll have to believe me when I call this a bridge, its part of the bridge and from the riverside I couldn't do the lion justice, a little history

"It is called the Lion Bridge because it has a sculpture of the Percy Lion (which said beast also appears as part of the crest of the achievement of arms of Northumberland County Council) distinguished from all other lions by having (and always being depicted with) a straight tail. The Percy Lion was created in 1773 by John Knowles and is fabricated from cast lead placed on a sandstone plinth which is part of the bridge parapet".

Had a lovely weekend up in Alnwick and intend to go back in a month or two to take in the Castle & Sea-Houses a few miles away that I'm told is a must see on that bit of the coast.
