The inscriptions on the sides you can't see show the distance to Fleet Street, London Bridge and Westminster. In each case it is about 1 mile. The side you can see has an inscription stating it was erected during the 11th year of the reign of King George the 3rd. (MDCCLXXI which converts to 1771 in Arabic numerals)
