MYSTERY SOLVED: Historical finger posts to be reinstalled in Abbots after going missing

 Published on: 18th December 2024   |   By: Nik Allen   |   Category: Uncategorized

Historical finger posts which had gone missing from Abbots Langley have been found and will be reinstalled in the next few months.

Earlier in the year, councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst reported to Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) that overgrowth was affecting two historical heritage finger posts in Gallows Hill, one opposite Abbots Road and the other at the junction of Gallows Hill Lane and Gallows Hill.

He asked for the overgrowth to be cleared, but a month later, the post at Gallows Hill Lane disappeared.

HCC later revealed it had taken the post to its depot for safekeeping as the main base was rotten.

Meanwhile, Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) removed what was left of the Gallows Hill finger post to safeguard it.

The posts will be put back in their rightful place within this financial year.

Whilst he said he is “delighted”, cllr Giles-Medhurst said he is still asking HCC to clear more of the overgrowth so that the posts can be put back.

HCC has been contacted for comment.
