TQ1677 : Arch and Lion, Syon Park

taken 13 years ago, near to Brentford, Hounslow, England

Arch and Lion, Syon Park
Arch and Lion, Syon Park
This shows a detail of the gateway seen in TQ1677 : Entrance arch and screen, Syon Park. The lion is a heraldic device of the Dukes of Northumberland. This one has a remarkable tail - my guess is that the lion was cast in metal, and that the tail was a bit of showing-off on the part of the craftsman who made it.

Another lion appears above the river frontage of Syon House: TQ1776 : Syon House from Kew Gardens
