Coal Tax Post
This is one of around 200 surviving coal tax posts, which can be found around the London area. Erected in 1861 to denote the boundary where a tax was levied on coal that crossed into London. All access routes into London had a coal tax post at the designated boundary from narrow country road to rail and canal (over which the majority of the coal was transported).
