Wraysbury Road at the Staines border
The sign says Welcome to Spelthorne, leaving Hythe End, Berkshire for Surrey, although before 1975 it was Buckinghamshire this side and before 1965 was Middlesex the other. It's hard to keep up.

Coal tax boundary post no.81, Wraysbury Road
The location of this post is shown in Image and Image See also Image See also Image
As with Image on the opposite side of the road, this post is not at its original location. It was removed from TQ0274 near Moor Farm, which is now submerged under Wraysbury Reservoir, in around 1966, and has been in its current location since around 1990.
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.
