Essex - Redbridge

Google's version of Darking and Bagenham's list of "buildings and Monuments of Importance". For some reason they don't seem to know about No. 2. Darking and Bagenham's Local List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest does not mention either Post or Post 2.
Post 1, Dagenham Road
Post 2, Wood Lane / Rush Green Road

Post 3, West Ham United F.C. training ground. Listed building - see this document page 29.

Posts 4 through 7 lie on a much older boundary, dating from Norman times and marked by stones erected in 1641. See this Hainault Forest page.

Post 4, Chadwell Heath. I missed an interesting pump nearby. See also the Hainault Forest page.
Valence House. Neither of these stones is Post 5 - it was a Type 2. For next visit, remember that Valence House shuts at 16:30.
Post 5, approx. original position. In the foreground is the end of Pemberton Gardens and we are looking southeast.

Post 5 in its original position, photographed in 1910 beside the Forest Bounds stones.
Post 6 should be in the hedge just to the left of the sign but I could see no trace of it. Note the seam across the road.

Post 7, Hog Hill Road. Apparently, lurking in the vegetation near the speed limit sign there is an Hainault Forest boundary stone. The write-up says a "lamp post … was digitally removed". I presume by "lamp post" they actually mean the speed limit sign.

The Maypole, 171 Lambourne Road, Chigwell, IG7 6EF at
Post 8, Manor Road. This and Post 9 are both on the IG / RM postcode boundary
Post 9, Abridge Road

Essex - Epping

Obelisk 10 shows up very clearly on this Google aerial photo giving a grid ref of . I have not got within sight of the obelisk yet but here is a train on the Circle Line looking north from the bridge at . It was called the Eastern Counties Railway when the obelisk was erected and it became the Great Eastern Railway.

Post 13.5? Could it be that Martin Nail missed one? At the OS map marks an 'Obelisk'. It lies pretty close to the direct line between Posts 13 & 14 and it even looks like a Tax Post on Google's aerial photo! Another visit is definitely needed.

Obelisk 21, [[#TL369051]]
Slipe Lane, Wormley. On east side of the railway line.
Described in ?1966 as "lying in several pieces on the ground. The inscription not identifiable."
Now re-erected, top foot or so of height missing but crest, inscription (14 & 15 VIC. C 146) and Bench Mark all clearly visible.

(The photos of this obelisk and the canal stone above were taken at dawn on May Day morning while the light was a bit too weak for my camera.)

Post 40, [[#TL174025]] Harper Lane, Shenley Outside No. 67		Harper Lane, Shenley Midway between these two Tax Posts. Just a post to announce that this is No. 100 but nice echoes of Tax Posts. Cab drivers on night shift wish that all houses showed their numbers as clearly as this.

The other post can be seen in the background of each of these pictures.

No descriptive signs of any sort. No indication that these posts are not in their original positions - compare with the careful notice on Post 98 that it has been moved just two metres.

Rickmansworth Road, Harefield at the point where it becomes Harefield Road, Rickmansworth.
Just on to the Hertfordshire side of the county boundary - a 'Welcome to Hillingdon' sign can be seen on the right of this photo.
