The stone plinth displaying this plaque is noticeable as you drive along the A605 main road around Oundle. We were relieved to see what it said:
'Northampton
Oundle Bypass
opened by H.R.H. Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester on 12th December 1985.'

Please be careful accessing this plaque as the road is very busy. Wikipedia has this plaque documented: 'The road was opened on December 12, 1985 by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester and is commemorated by a plinth and brass plaque at the roundabout.'
Type of Historic Marker: Metal Plaque

Historical Marker Issuing Authority: Northamptonshire County Council
