The Victorian Web website tells us about this panel in relief:
At the left appear Bristol's coat of arms, which consist of a ship leaving from the Watergate of a castle and motto, “Virtute et industria” — “Virtue and Industry.” At the right appears a simplified Manchester coat of arms with the city's motto, “Concilio et Laborare” — “By wisdom and effort.”
This panel is over the left, ground floor window in Fenchurch Street.
