This Mosiac - known as the "Barrow Kipper" - was made by John Ellis Co. in 1953 to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is based on the fossil skeleton of a plesiosaur - see reference (3).

Two copies of the mosaic are on the plinth on Jerusalem roundabout. A third is on the clubhouse of Barrow Town Cricket Club.

The design has been adopted as the official sign and is used all over the village. The roundabout is called "Jerusalem" after a house with that name, which once stood here in the middle of the road junctions.
