City of London coal tax post, by Cucumber Lane
These posts date from the mid 19th century, when the City of London Corporation imposed a tax on coal (and other goods) entering the metropolitan area. The posts stand at points on the boundary of that area - though the locations chosen seem pretty arbitrary.
I just happened to spot this one when driving by - at the point where a drive joins a minor road. The casting is a more elaborate job than others I have seen, and seems to reflect the 'Egyptian' taste that was fashionable in Victorian times.

Little Berkhamsted Lane near the junction with Cucumber Lane
I am guessing cucumbers have been grown in the area, although I don't know what a Cumcum is which is the road just past here at the end of Cucumber Lane, but guessing it is also cucumber related.

Berkhamsted Lane
Heading towards Little Berkhamsted, which is so far from the town of Berkhamsted that the names are probably coincidental.

The new bitumen-and-chippings surface dressing had dried, but the white lines had not yet been repainted and there was an advisory speed limit in place.
