The town of Bury became a Municipal Borough on 9 September 1876 under a charter of incorporation. Then in 1877 the coat of arms was granted to the borough by the College of Arms.
The symbols displayed in the four quarters represented local industry. They were an anvil, for iron forging; a golden fleece, for wool; a pair of crossed shuttles, for the cotton industry; and a papyrus plant for the paper trade.
The crest above the shield is a bee, symbolic of industry in general, between two cotton flowers.
The Latin motto Vincit Omnia Industria can be translated as "work conquers all.
