Dist:0.3km<br/>At one time Galleyhill Green was a route into London and as such had a Coal Tax post erected. Specialist website by Martin Nail: http://www.coaldutyposts.org.uk/cityposts.html Extract from City of London website http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Leisure_and_culture/Local_history_and_heritage/coal_posts.htm : 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.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This view is looking along down the byway. The sign marks the end of Epping Forest in this direction.

Dist:0.3km<br/>It is not surprising that this stream bed was completely dry, given the very dry Spring of 2011 and the fact that it is near the top of a ridge.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The sign showing "no cars" at the foot of this unsurfaced byway at Nazeing Long Green is unusual (it is different from the more commomn "no motor vehicles" sign which also shows motorcycles being banned). Since motor vehicles are in fact permitted on byways (at the driver's risk!) the sign and the concrete blocks might have been placed by local reisdents rather than the highway authority.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This view is looking along the ridge north-east of Galley Hill, parallel to the woodland (to the right). The contours show this hilltop field to be virtually level for nearly a kilometre.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A good dog walker's field by a short road, which turns into a green way. Some very pleasant houses here and quite a few "keep out" signs.
