We have a similar, though less pointy, obelisk (actually, if it's non-pointy, I suppose it's really a very tall milepost) on the Richmond side of Richmond Bridge, which must date from c1780. See it here:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Richmond_Bridge_obelisk.JPG<br /><br /><br />The tollbooths on the bridge are sadly, long gone.<br /><br />(By the by, I've just bought a copy of the h/b English Buildings Book for the 16 year old nephew's Christmas present. All part of his education!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-21738546682507286152009-11-18T11:24:55.856+00:002009-11-18T11:24:55.856+00:00What a lovely set of evocative English names.
