7 o'clock looks a little bit like Essex, but why would the arms of Essex be
on Hammersmith Bridge?


It's actually Middlesex - the two counties had the same coat of arms
until 1910, when a crown was added to the Middlesex version.


Aha! Yes, I had specifically checked up on the Middlesex coat of arms,
but discounted it as a possibility as it was lacking a crown.
