Description
The Coal Duty Boundary Marker is a Grade II listed structure made of cast iron and painted white. It stands between 1.2 meters and 2 meters tall, although only about 650 millimeters is visible above ground due to being deeply buried. The marker has a square base with chamfered corners and features a pyramidal cap. On the front face, there is a raised shield displaying the City of London’s Arms, which includes a red painted cross, framed by roll mouldings at the top of the post. Below the lower moulding, the citation for the Act, ‘ACT 24 & 25/ Vict Cap 42’, is barely legible.
