The starting coordinates are a short way from the coal posts, across the road. There is a green box beside the coal posts. From here you need to work out the final coordinates. You are looking for a film pot, please be careful as there are no pavements to the final location. Please do not enter any private property.
History 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 they 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 I. 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. Until this period coal had been brought into London by sea and it was only later in the nineteenth century that the railways became the most important means of transporting coal.
