Radisson Edwardian Crests

A few of the crests visible along the exterior of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel on Peter Street. The bees of course are a symbol of Manchester (and have already been added to The Manchester Bees), but I don't know the origin of the other two. Does anyone have any ideas or can suggest an online resource?

I think the castle on the back of the elephant is on Bolton's coat of arms. Could it be a local connection like that? Tom

I think so - I'd need to do some research on local coats of arms to be sure. By the way, nice blog you've got there Tom.
