Winged dragon finial in Bridge, Kent

This great collection of photos were taken on a sunny day with blue skies by a happy customer following the install of their winged ridge dragon on their roof. The dragon was installed on the gable end of a semi-detached traditional cottage in a prominent position in the pretty village of Bridge in Kent. The roofer removed the existing ridge tile and used mortar bedding to install the dragon on the gable end in place and it has created a lovely feature on the roof

This particular roof dragon is one of the larger in the range and is sized really nice for the cottage roof because the roof itself has quite a large slope and pitch so the scaling looks just right as can be seen in the photos. We do of course have smaller dragons and even larger in the range to suit all kinds of tastes, styles and sizes

The cottage itself looks like it is Victorian era and features decorative clay brindle brickwork throughout and the roof has traditional clay handmade roof tiles and clay ridges. It is sited close to the high street so the customer advised that when they are watering the plants they have received many positive comments on the dragon from passers-by as it can be seen from the roadside and creates a nice eye catching feature on the roof. It is great to see that the dragon creates such a nice feature on an older traditional property and preserves an English tradition of using roof finials to add detail and interest to the roof
