Motto: 'SINE LABORE NIHIL FLORET' - Without labour nothing flourishes
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 19, 1942.
The boar's heads and heraldic fountains refer to the ancient Manor of King's Swineford ( Kingswinford ) and the briar rose plays on the name of the Urban District. The beacons refer to the town's pricipal industries - glass, fireclay, iron and steel.
The emblems in the crest refer to the manufacture of those items and the knot refers to the County Staffordshire.
