Title: City of London post. Bridge Street. Colnbrook 2005 [Go to resource]
Description: The City of London signs were placed there to mark the limit of which the City of London had the right to levy taxes on the sale of wine and coal. The tax was unpopular and was abolished in 1899. "24 & 25 VICT CAP 42" marks the passing of the law which gave the taxes to the City of London. "24 & 25 VICT" stands for the 24th and 25th year of Queen Victoria's reign, or 1861, and CAP 42 says that the law can be found in chapter 42 of that year's laws.
