At the boundary of Moose River Recreation Area and West Canada Lakes Wilderness
Nineteenth century sandstone gatepost, part of the Caritas complex in Darlinghurst, purchased by St Vincent's Hospital from the NSW government for $1, and promptly sold for $20 000 000 to a private developer, St Hiliers.
If you've seen this in the Northowram Album, then this is the end of a journey from Brewery Lane, on the other side of the Valley!
Bare Head Lane! That lane marks the boundary between Northowram and Queensbury. That could be why this lane has gateposts - there are two!
The Gateway, to which the wall would have gone right up to once, could mark the entry way from a public road to the Stocks' estates, or simply a way of finishing the walls that were built to keep the roads from collapsing. Here we can see how the one in the valley may not be on the side we think it's on! Whatever the reason, it should be noted that these two are not as tall as the one in the valley, if they were they've snapped off, and at about the same height! :-)
Shibden Valley, Queensbury.
I really need to shoot in this neighborhood when it's not cold and blowing like crazy OR over 100 degrees.

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.
The University of South Dakota Historic Core District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in February 2025. Photographs from the nomination.
Gateposts
Date of construction: 1928
The Classes of 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1928 gifted these ornamental gateposts to mark what was then the main entrance to the campus from the south.
The Historic Core District includes a total of thirteen buildings plus a historic quad/greenspace, bird bath/fountain, and gateposts. The district includes historic resources that date from the earliest construction on campus through the mid-1950s. The period of significance begins in 1883, when the first section of University Hall (now called Old Main) was constructed, and ends in 1954, when the last buildings located within the district were built.
The earliest buildings are best-categorized as “Late Victorian” and include styles such as Richardsonian Romanesque and Chateauesque. Those constructed between 1900 and 1930 are examples of “Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals” and include Classical elements of styles such as Neoclassical, American Renaissance, and Beaux Arts. The buildings built after 1940 tend to illustrate the “Modern Movement” of architecture. Though architectural styles varied over the decades, the primary materials used for exterior building walls are stone and/or brick. The stone includes examples of various colors of Sioux quartzite and of Bedford limestone from Indiana.
Lots of old gateposts and structures here in the north stand like austere monoliths, it's nice to see one repurposed and made a bit more cheerful.

Identified as a listed building using Martin Greaney's excellent 'Historic Liverpool' website.
In 1856 a huge house called Troy was built here for John Thwaites, brother of Daniel. It was lived in by the family until the 1920s. The buildings were then taken over by Blakey Moor School for their girls before being demolished and rebuilt as Billinge School in the 1960s - which is when this gatepost was erected. The school changed its name to Beardwood High School but was closed in 2012. Finally it became Tauheedal Islam Girls' High School in 2013
