It stands by the side of a short access road turning off the B1531 road near the roundabout where it joins the A12, leading to work yards and businesses of which only hardstandings and weeds remain. The post was manufactured by Ham Baker Limited Engineers, Westminster > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3480513. Ham Baker & Co produced a wide range of products including hydrants, white porcelain bricks, manhole covers, lamp posts, sewage vents and assorted sundries for piping systems. Like a lot of major companies, Ham Baker had a postal address in London but manufacturing took place at a canalside factory in Warley, West Midlands. In early 1983 the company was taken over by the Biwater Group.
