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

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
