Description: Coal Tax Post no 151. Coal Tax Posts were markers defining the area within which the Corporation of London could charge duty on coal and wine entering the area. This area had been expanded in 1851 and further expanded in 1861, and it is from the latter time that most of the existing posts date. See http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/coalwine/postlist.htm for full list. This is the southernmost and highest above sea level of all the Coal Tax Posts. See 1151030 for context. Note the benchmark (height = 214.7m). Grade II listed - for listing particulars see http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=289580&resourceID=5
