We asked Paul House, from Canal and River Trust who explained: “We get a lot of query’s regarding this. The reason is the boatmen could look at the mile posts and see how far they had travelled so they knew how much toll they had to pay.

They did the last time I cycled or walked along there, but that was about 4 years ago, so maybe they've moved it. 🤔
