<br/>These posts were a means of marking the point at which duty became payable on coal and wine being transported into the City of London. The coat of arms depicted is that of the City of London, with the shield bearing the Cross of St George and the Sword of St Paul, painted red on a white background. The text 4&25VICT CAP 42 refers to the Act of Parliament under which statute they were erected - in this instance the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act of 1861. For a view of the post in its street context please see [[933110]].

Dist:0.5km north<br/>I could not go past this without taking a photograph! Undoubtedly named after our sponsors and featuring an inn sign showing a gentleman wearing a top hat, as all the best surveyors do ;-), and peering through a theodolite straight out of the Science Museum, this Fuller's pub is in Island Farm Road. It was built in 1974 in response to the demand from workers in the large West Molesey Industrial Estate, and apparently opened by the then vicar of West Molesey, the Reverend Yeend, in December of that year.
