This example is a type 2e, which is a square cast iron post with chamfered corners, a puramidal top and decorative raised bands, showing 3-4 feet above ground and bearing the arms of the City of London, and an inscription '24 & 25 VICT/CAP 42'. The maker's name and date (Henry Grissell, Regents Canal Ironworks, London, 1862) is in an oval at the base on the back of the post (B1).
