Set into the brickwork on each side of the arch there are comemorative plaques. Seen in this photo from 30 March 2015 is the plaque that is mounted above the arch on the eastern side. It has the names of John Hawkshaw the engineer who designed it and McCormick and Holmes the contractors who built it. In the centre is the Liver Bird symbol of Liverpool. There is an identical plaque on the western side. There are also plaques on the inside walls at track level. They have the name of John Hawkshaw and the year 1849.

The 'Grand Arch' looking east on 19 November 2016. The sheer size of the arch is clearly demonstrated from this viewpoint. The view was made possible due to works associated with the demolition of the Great Howard Street road bridge.
