A plaque can be found on the ground behind the statue stating that mileage distances on road signage are still measured from here. It marks the site one of the original memorial crosses erected by King Edward in memory of wife Queen Eleanor, who died in 1290. The cross standing outside Charing Cross Station is a replica of the original, made in 1863. Historians believe the original was not as ornate as the one seen today. In Trafalgar Square.
