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.

Location of a City Corporation coal-tax post, Church Road, Little Heath
View west, from near the junction with the Great North Road.
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. Crossing points into the area (at which tax would be collected) were marked by posts of various designs - though this white-painted cast-iron post is typical: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3598994l.
Presumably a ring of such posts once extended right round the capital. For whatever reason, the greatest concentration of surviving posts seems to be here in south Hertfordshire. The Church Road post is one of two within not many yards of each other:http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3598965
