Coal tax boundary obelisk no.87, Thames Street
The location of this obelisk is shown in Image, Image and Image
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 13 stone obelisks of the type in the photo, all erected by railways that were opened before 1865. 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.

Coal tax obelisk, Staines
This presumably applies to the railway, although not very visible from it down below. In crossing the Thames the railway passed from Surrey into Middlesex, and so crossed the boundary of the London coal tax zone. A grade II listed building.
