Do we have any clue where the name of this tunnel comes from, or what it means?Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:41, 1 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Brownqueen comes from the name of the woods that the tunnel runs under. I know that doesnt help much! Talskiddy (talk) 07:27, 2 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
After a bit of digging, I found a reference that says 'Brown Queen' is a corruption of the Cornish words 'Bron Gwyn' which translates into English as 'White mound' [1] Talskiddy (talk) 08:10, 2 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Good detective work! I went ahead and added an etymology section to this Wikipedia article. 😜Anythingyouwant (talk) 12:57, 2 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
