These three shields are featured on the side of the Percy Building on the campus of Newcastle Uni. Anyone know what they signify?

Top left is the coat of arms of Newcastle Uni, the one at the bottom is Durham Uni. No idea about the top right one though, but I suppose it could be the arms of Armstrong College (Newcastle Uni was a college of Durham until 1963) which was at least partly, a medical school. The 3 badges at the top of that shield look like Durham, the symbol of medicine (caduceus?) and a castle. It’s a guess.

thanks cassandra for posting this and thanks Dave for the answer - I’ve often wondered!

I actually did a piece about this and was given 2 different answers by Newcastle University, but after some reasearch I found the same answer as Dave Miller.
