Unofficial arms of the w:Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch, 1900–1965.

The w:borough did not have a w:coat of arms, so the corporation adopted the arms of John de Northampton, second w:lord of the manor of w:Shoreditch.

The council added a motto: More light, more power, referring to the municipal electricity generating facility.
