This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:

A straightforward cache and dash. Parking on the opposite side of the lane in a small pull in. A busy lane please be careful with children.

The posts were erected under the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act 1861, but some were originally set up under earlier nineteenth century Acts. The duties whose area of application marked out originated in the seventeenth century and earlier. The City of London had exercised the right of 'metage' (measuring) of coal and other commodities since mediaeval times and these rights were confirmed by two Charters of King James 1. The city was later permitted to set up "a boundary stone, or some other permanent mark" where any turnpike road, public highway, railway or canal entered the district.
The surviving boundary marks define the London district after it was changed in 1861. Most of the posts were erected by the sides of roads, but very little coal actually came into London by road or canal.
Of the original 250-260 post about 200 have survived. Some owned by the City of London, in areas such as Epping Forest and the commons in Kent and Surrey.
The cache when set contained, a Sayer Voyager's Compass Rose Token and a FTF badge for the first to find.
