Bicycle Tag of bike

Dog Gate, situated in Ewell Village Conservation Village, was built by Thomas Hercey Barritt towards the end of the eighteenth century to improve the entrance to the original Bourne Hall which was built in 1770.

Hah, I did wonder. Oh well, had a fun day struggling with Surrey hills

One for the history buffs on the thread.

When I saw the photograph of the dog gate, I assumed this location was somewhere in Hounslow, because the civic arms of the London Borough of Hounslow have, just like this gate, two gryphons for supporters and a Talbot dog on the crest. Hence my cryptic response, because I understood that the choice of a hound in the crest was a dad joke. Now, both things having the gryphon supporters isn't a suprise, because they're both in Middlesex (and said county has gryphon supporters in its coat of arms). But the Talbot appearing as a crest in two places so close but historically separate (c. 160 years apart) is intriguing. Did the people incorporating the new London Borough just copy the idea for a dad joke, does the Talbot hound have a wider local meaning, or is there some other explanation?

I was playing Bicycle Tag back when Tomoh first tagged this gate, but I clearly wasn't paying as much attention as Oliver.
