Spider with Egg Sac

This is more of a record shot as the focus isn't as good as I would have liked. I'm pretty sure this is a Rabbit Hutch Spider. It is also one of several varieties of the Noble False Widow Spider that can be found in the UK. I was particularly fascinated by what seems to be an anchor motive on it's abdomen.

The Anchor is the Birmingham hallmark...were there any date letters?
Great find and shot. I like the way she has a protective leg on the egg sack...maybe it's her anchor leg.
