West side of Deans Lane, Walton on the Hill in garden of "The Rise". The occupiers of this house, showing a proper respect for the City's crest, have put a dip in the wall to enable it to be seen. (Compare with the way Post 136, above is totally ignored.) |

Brighton Road, Hooley
East side of road about 150 yards north of the present boundary between Croydon and Reigate & Banstead.
Very dirty because this is a very busy road and very difficult to spot when the trees are in leaf.
The middle one is almost as cryptic as a Tax Post: HA = Highways Agency TfL = Transport for London
Brighton Road, Hooley
Corner of Netherne Drive, beside Star Bridge.

'West side of Redhill railway line at Hooley, 100 yards south of Star Bridge' [CoL] The Corporation of London page singles out this Obelisk for mention as 'inaccessible except by rail'. But in fact you get a clear view of this part of the track from Star Bridge or Forge Bridge, 300 yards further south. I would expect to see the Obelisk in both the left hand pictures above but I have looked very carefully and cannot see any sign of it. | ||
