Hampshire Hog


Due to Hampshire's long association with pigs and boars, natives of the county have been given the nickname of Hampshire hogs since the 18th century. This particular Hog is outside of the Hampshire County Council offices which are situated here in Winchester.

    That's quite funny that the people got such a name.

    It looks like this hog has been rubbed in certain spots. For good luck?

    Looks like his snout is popular with the locals.

    Yes his snout is a bit polished, maybe it's the council workers bringing themselves good luck for their day in the office!
