Obelisk (New London Stone), Upnor

The obelisk, known as the New London Stone, was erected in 1836 and is located in front of an earlier boundary stone. It is made from a single pillar of granite with a square section and a pyramidal top, standing taller than the boundary stone. The lower part of the obelisk is partially buried in the tarmac of the pavement and obscured by a kerb stone.

The obelisk features carvings of the arms of the City of London and includes inscriptions that commemorate Mayoral visits. The front inscription lists: "RIGHT HON. WILLIAM TAYLOR COPELAND LORD MAYOR JOHN LAINSON ESQ. ALD DAVID SOLOMONS ESQ. SHERRIFS 1836 SIR JOHN PIRIE BART 1842 1849 SIR JAMES DUKE 1856."

The side inscription reads: "THE RT. HON. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON SIR PETER GADSDEN GBE. MA. DSC. F. ENG 19TH JULY 1980."
