Oxhey

TQ 131 926, E side of Oxhey Lane, outside No 1 "The Hollies" and immediately NW of Burntoak Farm

I am sure I looked for this on 2012 Jun 07 and could not find it.

Northwood
Obelisk 52
I cannot now recall where exactly I took this photo but I am pretty sure it is just the opposite side of the path from Obelisk 52. The railway at this point is the Metropolitan Line between Northwood and Moor Park. I cannot see why
London County Council Tramways should need this box - more than an hundred yards from the nearest tram tracks.

I walked about 200m either side of
TQ 084 923 and saw nothing
Moor Park
Post 55
The seam in the road surface indicates that this is still a boundary - between Hillingdon on the left and Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire.

++++ when the above is properly organised, use this with proper GPS derived co-ords
Stockers Farm Road Pumping Station
Stockers Lock
Stockers House. Martin Nail lists this as Post 218 but we will show it more in geographical sequence.
The building just left of centre is Stockers House.
A collection of old tools on display beside the lock plus an old sign with the stern warning
the towing path is private property … there is no public right of way. In fact most canal towpaths are not rights of way but "
permissive paths".

Posts 74 and 75
or Post 75
Posts 74 and 75 both probably lost forever during the building of the M25 which can be seen in the background of this image. The Wraysbury (or Wyrardisbury) River may well have been moved by a few yards.
Similarly
Post 149 probably disappeared during the building of the M25. Compare with
Posts 80 and 81 which appear to have been relocated during the building of the Wraysbury (or Wyrardisbury) Reservoir
Poyle
Post 76
The Nail list gives a description of
TQ 037 770 on S bank of stream at NE corner of grounds of Poyle County Infants School.
It is probably the same school which is now called Pippins Primary School. A better grid ref for the post is probably
TQ 0360 7692 and the post may be visible from Pippins Park accessed off Raymond Close
Poyle Pump
