Coal Posts

Coal Tax Posts can be found in a ring round London - they were originally used as markers indicating the boundries of London. Bringing coal past hese would result in paying duty on these posts. You can find out more about them here.

The City of London Helpfully provide a list of these posts in Adobe Acrobat format. To complement this we have used Waypoint Workbench to convert this file into a number of downloadable formats. We hope you find them of use and enjoy searching out these little markers from history.
