photo - This tablet is in memory of Sir Hugh Willoughby, Stephen Borough, William Borough, Sir Martin Frobisher and other navigators who in the latter half of the sixteenth century set sail from this reach of the River Thames near Ratcliff Cross to explore the northern seas; This unique Portland stone LCC tablet, featuring inset painted tiles depicting three galleons, was designed by the LCC architect G. Topham-Forrest. It is positioned in front of the round ventilator shaft of the Rotherhithe tunnel which is Grade II listed. The King Edward VII Memorial Park occupies the site of a fish market cleared during the construction of the tunnel.
