This post is located inside Epsom Racecourse by a road called Old London Road, which follows the bend of the racetrack.
However, old maps show Old London Road used to cut directly through the area on the alignment of a present day footpath.
This explains an anomaly. The coat of arms on the coal tax post is sideways to the present road instead of facing it, which make sense as it faces the route of the road as it was when the post was erected.
