I found this info on the site link below.
The coat of arms reveals the town's origins - copper droplets on a coal black background. The golden eagle sitting on top of a fortified wall, and the motto Situ Exoritur Segedunii is also a visual reminder that the town was built on the site of the Roman fort Segedunum which lay at the end of Hadrian's Wall - a 185 km fortification built between AD 122-6 by the Emperor Hadrian to keep the Scots and Picts out of the Roman Empire.
Wallsend got its name from the fact that it was the eastern terminus of Hadrian's
Hope it helps. :)

Well, the first two words are "Position through (or from)" but I don't know what the 3 one is..........I'll keep looking...
Well, it appears that Segedunum is the ancient name for Wallsend.
You don't think it might be an ancient version of "Souvenir of Wallsend" do you? ;o)
