Shield parted per pale, at dexter Vert an anchor Argent, at sinister Argent a demi spinning wheel Sable couped per pale.
Meaning:
The charges are representing the former main business lines. The anchor is symbolising rafting of timber until the 19th century and is representing the Main River. The demi-wheel is symbolising the local textile industry.
