At about 09:55 on 17 May 1938 an eastbound Inner Circle train collided with an eastbound Ealing Broadway?Barking District line train to the east of the station. The Barking train had been stopped at an automatic signal on its way to Temple station. Six passengers were killed and 43 injured. The cause of the accident was a faulty signal, which showed a green "proceed" aspect to the second train even though the line ahead was not clear. This was a result of a wrong connection made during the previous night when some minor alterations to wiring were made.[17]
Since 1675 the site of the cross has been occupied by a statue of King Charles I mounted on a horse. That original position of the cross is recognised by modern convention as the centre of London for the purpose of indicating distances by road in favour of other previous measurement points (such as St Paul's Cathedral which remains as the root of the English and Welsh part of the Great Britain road numbering scheme). Furthermore, all residential roads in Greater London have the houses numbered such that number 1 is at the end closer to Charing Cross as the crow flies. Charing Cross is marked on contemporary maps as a road junction, though it was previously also a postal address denoting the stretch of road between Great Scotland Yard and Trafalgar Square. Since 1 January 1931 this section of road has been designated as part of the Whitehall thoroughfare.[5]
The Victoria Embankment is part of the Thames Embankment, a road and walkway along the north bank of the River Thames in London. Victoria Embankment extends from the City of Westminster into the City of London.
She was responsible for starting the careers of some of the most sought-after and controversial artists in the world.[8] Victoria Miro discovered Chris Ofili, whose work The Holy Virgin Mary displayed in 1999 in the Brooklyn Museum of Art angered the mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani,[8] who said, "There?s nothing in the First Amendment that supports horrible and disgusting projects!"[9] Another discovery, in 1992, was German photographer, Andreas Gursky, one of whose photographs, eight years later, made $250,000 at auction; a major retrospective was held in 2001 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.[8] A work by Cecily Brown, another artist represented by Miro, also sold for a surprisingly high price at auction in 2000.[8]
