Shrub Hill Common by Long Chaulden
The striped pole is the best known remaining example in the country, having been only used for parking signs and a few others, nearly all others having been painted over and only visible when it began to wear off. I have not found another either uncovered or in this condition before. This is an example of the usual types left over. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2272327

These stopped being made in 1964, and normally only for parking regulations. I have never come across one remaining in such good condition.
