Borough Council Flag

The website of Newton Newton Flags shows a flag of Allerdale Borough Council as a white sheet bearing the Borough Council's arms, crest, supporters and motto. Details of the arms can be found on Ralf Hartemink's Civic Arms site.
Laurence Jones, 10 October 2005

From Heraldry of the World site:

The arms feature a winged unicorn, surrounded by three cornucopias. This pegasus symbolises inspiration. The unicorn's horn represents purity and healing. Together, this charge shows the Borough Council's mission to care and preserve. A unicorn's horn also was also part of the arms of the Christian and Curwen families.

The crest features a green mural crown, suitable for a largely rural Borough. On the crown stands an elephant, symbolising integrity and unity. It supports a coal miner's pick, and has a ship shaped weathervane on top of the howdah for the maritime industries. It also refers to the harnessing of wind power in the district.

The dexter supporter is a sea dog, representing the people living in the costal and inland areas of Allerdale. The collar is derived from the arms of Fletcher Christian. He supports a crook, for the sheep farming of the hills, as well as rambling by visitors. A ship's chain attached to the collar completes the supporter.
The sinister supporter is a centaur. He suggests the Roman past of Allerdale and also hospitality and wisdom. Around his neck are the masks of Tragedy and Comedy and holds a bugle horn, suggesting the importance of drama and music in the Borough. The crosier is for the monastic and ecclesiastical foundations of the area. The centaur has a dragon's tail from the Lowther family arms.

The motto is EX UNITATE CURAQUE FORTIOR or Strength through caring and working together.
