Coal Duty Boundary Marker (In The Fence To The Back Of The Garden Of Number 57 Baldwyn'S Park) And Adjacent Iron Bollard

The Coal Duty Boundary Marker, located in the fence at the back of the garden of number 57 Baldwyn's Park, was erected in 1861 or soon after. It was cast by Henry Grissell at the Regents Canal Ironworks on Eagle Wharf Road in Hoxton. This post was established under the London Coal and Wine Duties (continuance) Act 1861 and is a standard "City Post." It features a square cast iron design with chamfered edges, a projecting cornice, and a frieze that displays the arms of the City of London on one side. The stem of the post has a plate inscribed "ACT/24&25 VICT/CAP 42." In front of the Coal Post is a square cast iron bollard, which also has chamfered edges and ends in stops, with roll-moulding and panels that have rounded tops and bottoms, topped with gables and crowned with a ball finial.
