Follow us to explore and find the 8 animals.
WALLY BIRD This pot is called the Wally Bird. It is part of a collection of art which belonged to Mr Marsh who lived in Kingston.
WOOLLY MAMMOTH These huge teeth were dug up in Kingston. They belonged to a Woolly Mammoth. This amazing animal might have lived here during the Ice Age which is a very very long time ago!
FISH There are 3 fish in Kingston’s shield, this is because there used to be 3 salmon farms in Kingston.
CROCODILE This crocodile is a children’s toy and was made by women in an airplane factory in Kingston. It was sold in Bentalls. We call him ‘Snappity’.
FROG This frog was made by artist Denise Wren who lived in Kingston and made pots. She loved bright colours and nature.
NIPPER THE DOG Nipper was a famous Kingston dog, a picture of him was painted and it was later used for the HMV logo. There is a road in Kingston named after him!
STAG This is the shield for the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. The impressive stags remind us that part of Richmond Park is in Kingston.
HORSE Eadweard Muybridge was a famous photographer from Kingston. He liked to take photos of animals moving and was one of the first people to make pictures move.
