Winchester - Hampshire Hog Weathervane

Residents of Hampshire are often colloquially referred to as "Hampshire Hogs", a name which goes back at least to the 1790s. This one stands outside the Hampshire County Council Offices.

 

The Hampshire pig is a domestic swine breed characterised by erect ears, a black body, and a white band around the middle, covering the front legs.
