![Corporation of London Coal Post, off Thames Street, Sunbury. The Coal Duties Act of 1851 gave the Corporation of the City of London the power to tax coal and other goods entering the Metropolitan area.  The boundary of the area - for this purpose - was marked by posts or other markers.  This one stands within a few feet of the Thames shore at Sunbury.  The site must once - I imagine - have been a wharf where coal was unloaded, with an official in attendance to record tonnages and collect the duty.
