Egham Hythe: Thorpe Road level crossing
Even though it was a very wet day this view of the level crossing is surprisingly devoid of traffic and pedestrians.

Welcome to Staines-upon-Thames
Staines has only been officially "Upon Thames" since 2012.
Various towns have had that suffix for years, usually because there is another town with the same name elsewhere in the country; Kingston, Richmond, Henley, Goring etc....but this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-18118309 suggests that the council thought it would just be an image booster after Staines got a lot of flack on the Ali G show.

Coal tax boundary post no.86, The Hythe
The location of this post is shown in Image and Image See also 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, like this one. Photos of the coal tax posts on Geograph are at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=86542993&page=1 .
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. For further info see http://www.coaldutyposts.org.uk/cityposts.html .
This coal tax post is Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1378033 .
