If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's called ' The London Stone' and it's displayed in a protective grille outside WH Smiths.

Yes London Stone....I am not sure that it is visible now, inside a shop....But there is a pub of the same name nearby
There's a similar but much larger thing near where I was brought up, the Weald Stone, in errr, Wealdstone, outside a pub called The Weald Stone. An ancient boundary marker of some sort probably, as its quite near Grims Dyke, now the home of an ultra snobby golf club. if it hasn't been built over, I haven't been back round there for decades.
Yes folks, it's the London Stone, once part of a much bigger stone, this remnant is encased in the wall of No.111 Cannon Street which is built over the original Candlewick Street. The stone was also built into the wall of St. Swithin's Church which was eventually demolished in 1962 and moved to it's current site where it has Grade II listed status.

Brava Beth. Apparently they hate each other and haven't talked for years. That alone guarantees that I will never attempt to read any of their work.
Who played 171 times as centre half for Doncaster Rovers, but is commemorated with a blue plaque in Barnsley for another reason
Is it Charlie Williams ? He played for Doncaster, was born near Barnsley and later in life was one of Britain's first stand up comedians to come from Afro Caribbean origins.
Darn it too late !
