The bronze panel which Mr. Alfred Drury
has recently executed to commemorate the
completion of the Blackwall Tunnel is notice-
able as a pleasant exception to the usual type
of memorial label. It has both in general
arrangement and in the treatment of its details
a good deal of welcome originality, and as a
piece of skilful modelling claims very sincere
praise. The panel, which has been erected just
inside the entrance-gate of the tunnel, at the
top of the incline which leads down to the
tunnel itself, was cast in bronze by Messrs.
Singer, of Frome, who have been unusually
successful in retaining those excellent techni-
cal qualities which make Mr. Drury's efforts
consistently interesting.
