The Royal Coat of Arms is captured on this WW P-a-D: 30th Oct 2021 and there’s more info given in the comments below it, including this by Cyril:

“In the book Public Sculpture of Greater Manchester by Terry Wyke ISBN: 9780853235675: 'Wigan Magistrates Courts. Two brick sculptures on the exterior, the Royal Coat of Arms directly above the main entrance and the figure of Justice on the side wall, both sculpted from Baggeridge Brick and stated to be by artist and potter Maggie Humphrey. The sculptures are set into the walls and the outer bricks have been striated, adding extra depth to the figures. The courts were designed by Wigan Metro and opened by the Princess of Wales in 1991'.”
