The plaque can just be seen in our photo, on the wall in shadow, between the wide arched openings. The pedestrian in our photo was directly above it 3 or 4 strides back. Luckily the gates that you can see in the foreground were open when we visited but possibly only due to maintenance works. A notice suggests that they are normally locked.
