Description Originally over the entrance to the Blue Coat School in St Philip’s Square they are shown in the original school uniform, though they were not painted until 1881. With the move of the school to its present location in Harborne William Bloye renovated the originals and produced replicas (1930), which we can enjoy over the school entrance today.
