About fifteen miles from me, in Shrewsbury, is the Sentinel Works where 
Sentinel steam lorries were made.  I believe that the factory is now 
occupied by Vickers Aerospace, but the original Sentinel, a life-sized 
Crusader figure, still stands in his niche above the factory entrance, 
hands clasped on the pommel of his sword...

machinery.  Also http://www.eates.org/horse02.html and, for the Crusader 
himself, http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/ejones/tony/sentinels/sn02.jpeg
