Summary

Description

The 5 furlong post of Epsom Downs Racecourse where the English Derby is run. It indicates 5 furlongs from the finishing line. The riders pass this post about half a furlong before Tattenham Corner.

That post is only erected during race meetings, but the coal-tax post on the right of the picture has remained firmly rooted to the spot since 1861 - its roots are showing rather more than they should. It is a Grade II listed building see Images of England entry. Another coal-tax post can just be seen on the knoll in the background - see [1]. For a view of the Epsom Grandstands and more on coal-tax posts see this external site.
