Coulsdon: Coal Post A
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 1 Apr 2017
When walking from Coulsdon via the lane which runs along Farthing Downs, one encounters no less than ten coal posts. For the sake of clarity, I have allocated letters A to J to each of the posts; the letters are as follows: A and B: These posts are not actually on Farthing Downs; they are (one each side) of a very short (c. 3 metres) piece of metalled road connecting Downs Road with the metalled lane that runs north to south along Farthing Downs. This lane,as far as I am aware, has no name, although at its southern end it connects with Ditches Lane. The post in this picture is Post A, the northerly one of two across this short strip of road.
