The Mill House and mill stream, Mill Street
I think that the stream is an artificial channel diverted from the Colne Brook to the northeast, just south of where the Colnbrook By-pass now crosses over it.

Mill stream and bridge, Colnbrook Mill
The mill house is on the right. The actual mill seems to have been just above (beyond) the bridge, but no real trace remains.

There were originally nearly 280 coal tax posts located around London, of which about 210 are still extant; around 180 of these (85%) are 3 ft high white-painted square bollards with a pyramidal top, decorative raised bands, and the shield from the City of London’s arms. Photos of the coal tax posts on Geograph are at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=86542993&page=1 .
There are just 4 extant markers in situ of the type shown in the photo; the other three are

The posts were erected under the Coal and Wine Duties (Continuation) Act of 1861 to mark the points at which duty had to be paid on coal being transported to London. The boundary was set at that of the Metropolitan Police District, and the resulting revenue was used by the Corporation of the City of London to fund public works.
