This old cast iron marker is on the south side of High Street and carries the insignia for King George, suggesting a date between 1910-1936. Originally there would also have been a plaque below the 'ft ins' (feet and inches), indicating the actual distance to a buried GPO cable. The arrow signifies that the General Post Office was a government department at that time.
