To be found near the NW corner of the market square. According to a sign attached to it, it was moved here from its original site at Hitchin station. It seems unlikely that any will have survived, but in London similar structures - though perhaps rather larger - used to be a familiar sight near the busier cab-ranks. I think I'm right in saying that some of the largest were in the Brompton Road, not far from Harrods, and that there were others near Victoria station.
