Description: Coal Tax Pillar. This, I believe (from looking at other Geographs) is a Coal Tax Pillar, marking the boundary of the London Coal Tax area where a levy had to be paid if coal passed this point. Cf. 22931 24 VICT probably indicates that it was erected in the 24th year of Queen Victoria's reign, i.e. 1861
