Summary
| Description |
English: Ashtead Common: Coal Tax Post. This is the northern entrance into Ashtead Common from Epsom Common. It is owned and managed by the Corporation of London, and their notice board can be seen in the distance.
In the foreground on the left is a Coal Tax Post. 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 on the post reads: 4&25VICT CAP 42 which 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. |
