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

(A director fringe golf club closing! This forum thread makes one suggestion: “For a long time it was a Jewish-only course . It probably left it too late to try and change.”)

The Queen's Head public house (now apparently closed) stands 50 yards to the east of this post on the corner of Coursers Road and High Street, London Colney. The entry at Historic England for the pub says “canted front bay said to have been used for the collection of Coal Tax”.
