The left-hand relief features a kneeling Minerva with a shield and laurel. To the right is Vulcan, also kneeling and holding a flaming hammer. The Croydon coat of arms is over the Fairfield Road door. Minerva is said to represent wisdom and Vulcan the arts and crafts, appropriate symbols for a technical and art college.
