In the base of the restaurant, a former bank, at the junction of London Road, B6388, with St Mary's Gate, A61. Easiest access is to walk through the underpass. In 2024 it was found hidden behind large rubbish bins with dirt almost obscuring CHAPEL-EN-LE/FRITH/22 MILES at base of plate. This section of the Sheffield to Chapel-en-le-Frith turnpike, first enacted in 1758, was built in 1811. The building is Grade II listed, 1247585. Presumably this includes the mileplate.
