(Nail Number 199 - http://www.rhaworth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/coalwine/bromley.htm#TQ480651 ). West side of Chelsfield Lane beside the entrance to Goddington Park. The majority of these posts such as the one beside Image give the reference of the exact act of parliament: "24 & 25 Vict. Cap. 42", ie. the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act, 1861. This post was cast before the act had been passed and just bears the legend "24 VICT" which was as meaningless in 1861 as it is today.
