City Corporation Coal-Tax post, by the Great North Road, Little Heath, Potters Bar
The Coal Duties Act of 1851 gave the Corporation of the City of London the power to tax coal and other goods (including wine and spirits) entering the Metropolitan area. The boundary of the area - for this purpose - was marked by posts or other markers. So once upon a time there must have been a ring of posts encircling London. My impression is that these days they are more noticeable in Hertfordshire - for whatever reason - than in the other Home Counties.
This one stands by the old Great North Road, while a second post can be found just round the corner in Church Road.

City Corporation Coal-Tax post, Church Road, Little Heath, Potters Bar
The Coal Duties Act of 1851 gave the Corporation of the City of London the power to tax coal and other goods (including wine and spirits) entering the Metropolitan area. The boundary of the area - for this purpose - was marked by posts or other markers, many of which still exist. This one is typical of the commonest type - though part of the original lettering is missing. It stands near a bus-shelter at the eastern end of Church Road. There is a second post round the corner in the Great North Road - less than a minute's walk away http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3598965
