"One heart one way" - The Stourbridge Borough Council motto

This the motto that appears on the Stourbridge Borough Council civic heraldry, granted 6th November 1917. The name of the Borough and its close connection with the County of Worcester are symbolized by the bridge and the two pears, whilst the fleece and the chain suspending it are typical of the skin and leather dressing and chain cable industries, carried on in the Borough. The motto expresses the singleness of mind and purpose animating the members of the Council.
