Fingerpost in Tuxford Market Place
Originally built to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897, and refurbished with considerable modification in 2012 to celebrate the equivalent jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The original status can be seen in this picture http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/759976 .
The lamp at the top has been replaced by a crown, and two new large lamps added lower down. Two round plaques fill what were previously open circles next to these lamps which refer to the two Jubilees http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4126781. The fingers have been renewed with more ornate ends. Listed Grade II for group value.
Postscript, October 2015:
The 'original' status referred to above is simply the status prior to restoration. The rebuilding has in fact restored the post to its original design.

Looking up Lincoln Road to Market Place, Tuxford
Tuxford received a market charter in 1218. It lay on the Great North Road, which passed across the front of the white building on the far side of the Market Place: this, and several other buildings along the main road, were coaching inns, a result of the town's position on the main road north. (The large white building, the former Newcastle Arms, is now an art gallery.)
