Google's version of Darking and Bagenham's list of "buildings and Monuments of Importance". For some reason they don't seem to know about No. 2.
Post 1, Dagenham Road
Post 2, Wood Lane / Rush Green Road
Post 3, West Ham United F.C. training ground
Posts 4 through 7 lie on a much older boundary, dating from Norman times and marked by stones erected in 1641. See this Hainault Forest page.
Post 4, Chadwell Heath. I missed an interesting pump nearby. See alse the Hainault Forest page.
Valence House. Neither of these stones is Post 5 - it was a Type 2. For next, remember that Valence House shuts at 16:30.
Post 5, approx. original position. In the foreground is the end of Pemberton Gardens and we are looking southeast.
Post 5 in its original position, photographed in 1910 beside the Forest Bounds stones.
Post 6 should be in the hedge just to the left of the sign but I could see no trace of it. Note the seam across the road.
Post 7, Hog Hill Road. Apparently, lurking in the vegetation near the speed limit sign there is an Hainault Forest boundary stone. The write-up says a "lamp post … was digitally removed". I presume by "lamp post" they actually mean the speed limit sign.
The Maypole, 171 Lambourne Road, Chigwell, IG7 6EF at TQ464933
Post 8, Manor Road. This and Post 9 are both on the IG / RM postcode boundary
Post 9, Abridge Road

Obelisk 10 shows up very clearly on this Google aerial photo
giving a grid ref of TQ 452 977.
I have not got within sight of the obelisk yet but here is a train on the Circle Line looking north from the bridge at TQ 454 986.
It was called the Eastern Counties Railway when the obelisk was erected and it became the Great Eastern Railway.

Post 13.5? Could it be that Martin Nail missed one? At TL 419 017 the OS map marks an 'Obelisk'. It lies pretty close to the direct line between Posts 13 & 14 and it even looks like a Tax Post on Google's aerial photo! Another visit is definitely needed.
