April 20, 2010 The Vampire Rabbit
f you venture down Amen Corner behind St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle at the rear of the Cathedral Buildings on Dean Street you will find this little chap sitting above an entrance.
He is the famous Newcastle 'Vampire Rabbit'
The bizarre figure of a fanged rabbit, is above the ornate doorway of solicitors' offices on Amen Corner, behind St Nicholas' Cathedral, in Newcastle.
Lindsay Allason-Jones, director of Archaeological Museums at Newcastle University, said: "'Sadly, very little is known about why the rabbit is there, or what it represents.
"We would love to hear from anyone who can enlighten us."
