| Maker: Maldon Iron Works | |||
| Details: This post is in need of a little tender loving care. A rare example of a guidepost with a road name instead of a location. (Another example is Lime Kiln Lane, Birchanger.) By Maldon Iron Works to Essex C.C. order number 1375 dated 17 February 1937. 3 feet 6 inches post topped by a conical finial. The single 7 inch arm has been repaired in two places. Ideally a sleeve should be fitted to the upper shaft so the upper assembly will sit square in the post. | Credit: John V Nicholls | ||
