Decoration of the gateposts outside the Natural History Museum - all containing sculptures of animals.
The Natural History Museum forms part of 'Albertopolis' (a complex of buildings including the V&A, Science Museum, Imperial College, Albert Hall and Albert Memorial, to name but a few). The NMH itself grew from a collection belonging to Sir Hans Sloane. The current building came about in the mid-nineteenth century with the purchase of land in South Kensington, and an architectural competition in 1864 (won by Richard Waterhouse); work began in 1873, completed in 1880, and the museum opened in 1881.
There is a blue plaque at King Edward's School on the new brick gateposts on the Bristol Road in Edgbaston.

In the main street of Witton Park, County Durham is a memorial garden and corten steel sculpture "The Ball and The Bradford Boy" by artist Ray Lonsdale (b.1965). In a comforting gesture, a civilian figure rests one hand on a soldier's shoulder whilst handing him a football. This simple gesture symbolises the handing back to the soldier the life he enjoyed before he went off to war. The Bradford Brothers of Witton Park - Thomas, George, James and Roland - were amongst the most decorated families of World War One. Two Victoria Crosses, one Distinguished Service Order and two Military Crosses were theirs. Three brothers were also Mentioned in Despatches.
George Bradford was killed on his birthday 23rd April 1918 and James was killed in May 1917, just six months after his marriage. Roland Bradford was killed six months after James. Goege and Roland's Victoria Crosses were awarded posthumously and received by their mother from King George V. Thomas Bradford, the sole survivor, was knighted in 1939 and became High Sheriff of County Durham in 1942. The memorial garden was commissioned to mark the centenary of Roland Bradford's gallantry in the face of the enemy.
In memory of: Col Sir T A Bradford DSO - DLI (1886-1966), Lieut-Commander G N Bradford VC - Royal Navy (1887-1918), Second-Lieutenant J B Bradford MC - DLI (1889-1917), Brigadier-General R B Bradford VC MC - DLI (1892-1917).

Arms of Ipswich carved on a gate post of Ipswich Old Cemetery. Although rather weathered and not the highest quality of stone work, the features can still easily be distinguished. Two sea horses act as Supporters. The shield shows three demi-ships and a lion, that somehow seems to have turned itself into a cat and the crest has a demi-lion holding a small ship, believed to be a cog, which would have been the vessel commonly used by merchants of the Hanseatic League, of which Ipswich was a main trading port in the Middle Ages. The cemetery was opened in 1855. A second gate post displays the same image on the other side of the gate.

Old red wall and gatepost in Cherry Road opposite Sheffield United's football ground main entrance. Redevelopment means that lots of old Victorian features like these gateposts have been destroyed. Even the wall would have worth keeping and building in to the new project. But developers don't think like that!

The sandstone gateposts relocated to the park following the demolition of Moorecourt (their original location) lead to a wisteria walk which divides the main part of the park from the highway and from the parking area.
The Moorecourt gateposts are large square dressed sandstone posts with astragals and pyramidal caps. The Moore family crest carved on the posts has the motto "PERSEVERANDO ET CAVENDO". (By Never Giving Up and Taking Care) The crest is located on the east face of the northern gatepost and the west face of the southern gatepost. The northern gatepost has been set on a plinth at a higher level than the southern gatepost.
"The old gates and gateposts of Bidadari Cemetery were also relocated and now form the entrance to the Memorial Garden."

In February 2023 we had decided to get our rural acreage gravel driveway resurfaced with 3 truckloads of Melinga Quarry brown crushed road-base. In mid-December 2022 the contractor, Innes Earth, had prepared the surface ready for the gravel. At the time though he could not finish the job as the quarry's gravel crusher had broken down with no immediate prospect of repair.
By February 16-17 the plant was back in full swing and the contractor was able to deliver the gravel.
With the road done we turned our mind to the aesthetics of the front entrance and decided to remove the existing front gate and gateposts, having already removed, several months before, all the rural fence posts on that side of the property.
We had also, several months before, collected large rocks from a friends' new housing estate development at Diamond Beach so the opportunity to create new rock gardens either side of the entrance seemed a worthwhile project.
Because we wanted to plant Lord Howe Wedding Lilys (Dietes robinsoniana) in the two gardens, we asked the excavator operator to rip the ground and once this was done, we filled the garden with a sandy loam, planted the Dietes robinsoniana plants and then mulched both gardens with a generous amount of woodchip mulch.
Dietes robinsoniana is an attractive strap like plant that can grow to 1.5metres tall while bearing attractive white flowers.
The species in enigmatic in that it is endemic only to Lord Howe Island and is one of the world's most intriguing and remarkable biogeographic disjunctions, considering its nearest phylogenetic relatives occur in Africa.
Botanists have yet to provide a plausible explanation how Dietes robinsoniana came to co-evolve on Lord Howe Island, given the rest of the genus are so far away and strictly endemic to Africa.
It is of course possible that one day, using DNA and modern methodology, botanists will place Dietes robinsoniana in a genus of its own, separate from the African Dietes.
