Millenium Clock

The Millennium Clock in Eastwood. The post just to the right of it has a representation of a Phoenix on the top. This image is all over the town, little steel plates in the pavement, picked out with different colour bricks in walls, and names of various businesses. I asked at least 10 people what it represented, and nobody could give me a definitive answer. There seemed to be a general belief that it was something to do with D.H. Lawrence who was born here. I later found out it is part of the town coat of arms. Lawrence took it as his own.
