Dou you still give out Fun Facts on Fridays? Can I please have one?
I do indeed! I was out for a couple of weeks on vacation, so the inbox was closed, but we're open today. Possibly not next week, though, as I will be going out of town for a thing.
Anyhow! Today You Learned about the London Dragons!
Alright, so, in the City of London, which is the district of London that is where the old, medieval city was, has dragon statues along the roads in and out, marking the borders. The majority of them are like pictured above: silver, in a rampant position, holding a shield with the city's coat of arms (which notably has a St. George's Cross on it; remember, St. George is the patron of England). Originally, two were placed on the Coal Exchange in 1849, but after that building was demolished, the statues were repainted, repurposed, and replicated into markers for the roads.
That's right; the roads into the City of London are guarded by dragons.
And then there's Temple Bar.
Temple Bar was the old, big gateway to the city from Westminster (called 'Temple' because the Templar church was nearby), and in the late 1800's this memorial was put up, with a bigger dragon to guard the way. The plinth holds several relevant historical sculptures, but on top is the biggest of the guardian dragons.
Pretty cool, right?
The "Dragon at the Bar" appears as a minor but memorable antagonist in Stoneheart by Charlie Fletcher, a book where the statues of London all come to life (which is how I know about these things).
