A former GPSS pipeline, now privatised. The plate indicates a Thames Haven - Saffron Walden route for a 10" bore pipe. This was installed during WWII to serve East Anglian airfields via branching spurs. The two shorter posts are the remains (lacking crossbars) of the original GPSS 'pseudo stile' marker. One is intact on the other side of the lane.
