Around the base are four brass plaques commemorating the tunnel's construction and opening. This one notes that, as well as being opened by King George V on 18 July 1934, the pneumatic drills were started at George's Dock by Princess Mary Viscountess Lascelles in December 1925. It is interesting to note that the Queensway tunnel was opened by a King and the Kingsway was opened by a Queen.
