The 'Vampire Rabbit' is a local name for the sculptured rabbit (or hare) that sits above the rear doorway of the ornate, Cathedral Buildings, Dean Street facing St Nicholas' churchyard. It was painted black in 2008 and has a manic expression, oversized, red, canine teeth and red claws. Its provenance and significance are unknown, but possibly an original feature of the building built in 1901. Quote from http://www.geograph.org.uk
