Civic Heraldry of the United Kingdom England STOCKTON-ON-TEES Additions : 1974 Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees, Stokesley RDC (partly), Stockton RDC Origin/meaning : The arms were granted on 4th August 1976. The background of six white and blue waves represents the river Tees, over which a chevron with five golden tails is placed to represent the corporate identity of the five areas which came together to make up the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The golden castle in the crest represents the two former castles of Stockton-on-Tees and Stokesley Rural District Council, the anchor, whilst distinguishing the castle from that depicted on other arms, associates Stockton with its historic port and seafaring traditions. The lion supporter represents the former areas of Thornaby-on -Tees and Billingham and is depicted full face; on the right of the shield a sealion represents Seal Sands and the former Stockton Rural District Council and is similarly shown full face.
