n a silver field is a red radiant sun with a silver(=white) capital "H" in its centre.The shield has a plain black base and a red chief showing a silver(=white) gear flanked by two ears of grain of the same colour.
Meaning:
Grain and gear probably are symbolizing industry and agriculture. The "H" might be an abbreviation of the boroughs name, but the sun with might be a symbole of Christ as well. I do not know the details yet.
