Hidden on the back of a main span portal is a small plaque. It reads: "ROYAL ALBERT BRIDGE REFURBISHMENT Network Rail preserved this sample area of archaeological purposes at the request of English Heritage when the bridge underwent significant repairs and complete repainting of the main spans between 2010 and 2014."
