    No This is the post's Nail Number - see Sources below.   Posts are listed anticlockwise from the estuary - with possibly a few deviations from strict line-of-boundary sequence.
T2 Entry here if Nail Type 2 The key to the type suffices, eg. 2a** is not yet to hand.
OT Entry here if other Nail Type
OS Grid Ref  Links are to photo pages.   Yellow highlight means the Grid Ref in the [CoL] version of the Nail list is wrong.  The correct one appears here.
Village Many of these posts still stand on boundaries so it is not always possible to tell exactly in which local authority area a given post stands. Therefore the village and area names should not be treated too rigidly.
