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.

Coal post
These are found all around the perimeter of London. They are marked with the crest of the city of London and were erected around 1860. They marked the boundary after which an extra tax had to be paid on coal destined for use in London. Tax was not collected at the posts. They served as a reminder only. This one is one of a pair; see Image
