« on: Saturday 28 December 24 11:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
In a prominent position on a roof pediment over the front doorway of the Cellar Bar, Batley, sits a stone dog.  image attached.
Do you know the purpose or significance of the dog, and do you know the history of the building.
Also over the portico of the same entrance is a carved bust of a male.  Any idea who this bust might be of?

Regards,

Janet

Hello,

I am having trouble making sense of the following entry:
