A 11.5 x 9.7 inch, black and white print taken by Peter Hewitt, on behalf of Richard, Thomas and Baldwins Ltd, showing an inscription which is cut into the wall at a pilot tunnel at Folkestone Warren beach. The inscription says that the tunnel was started in 1880. This image appears in the picture story “Trade Route Under the Channel,” September 1958 issue, p. 9.

The print has a yellow job sticker on the reverse with the following details: Job: INGOT 10, Screen: 120, Height: 3 1/2, Width: 3 1/4.
