Note, part of the inscription on this post is missing. It should read "24 & 25 Vict Cap 42" "Coal-tax posts were marker posts, about 250 in number, first erected in 1851 and forming a rough circle about twenty miles from the centre of London, England, to mark the points where taxes on coal and wine due to the Corporation of London had to be paid." The inscription is in reference to the Act of Parliament under which statute they were erected - in this instance the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act 1861. On many of the posts this lettering is somewhat illegible, and in almost all cases the “2” of “24” and the “T” of “VICT” is missing. This is attributed to the fact that the production of some posts was put in hand prior to the Act being passed by Parliament. These posts did not carry a full inscription and so it was necessary to fix a correction plate bearing the words over the original inscription.
