Description
Images of ‘St George slaying the Dragon’ at London Court in Western Australia. Located in a window above the clock at the St George’s Terrace entrance to London Court, 'St George slaying the Dragon' is a feature consisting of animated figures that move in time with the clock. A figurine of St George brandishing a sword chases a dragon around a circuit when the clock chimes each quarter of an hour. At the chiming of the full hour, St George catches up to the dragon and beheads him.
