Although not originally manufactured for use a gatepost it has two lugs welded onto the sides to give it a second life. No longer required for this purpose either it now sits in a garden wall on the West side of Burnley Road, Dunnockshaw, Roseendale. These gas retorts lay horizontally, were filled with coal and then heated to produce gas and coke. Other examples can be seen in Helmshore Textile Museum.

I thought these stones were mainly above doors on houses but there seem to be some good examples on gateposts. This one is dated 1820, Brilliant.
I recently came upon a fascinating 'micro-forest' on top of a gatepost.
These little fungi are just about 15mm tall.

A visit to The Laskett Gardens. Was a listening device to hear the thoughts of the original gardener who lived here, Sir Roy Strong. And created with his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman.
The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and Julia Trevelyan Oman. The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch.
In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial). Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.
Howdah Court
Named after the viewing gallery which straddles a mound of turf and from which views can be had both of the countryside beyond and of the garden below with its knot garden of yew & dwarf euonymous flanked by symmetrical planting of malus floribunda and two fountains.
House
The house was built about 1835 and purchased by Sir Roy and his late wife in 1973.
Over the decades it has been considerably enlarged and, from 2003 on, embellished with pilasters and plaques to provide character to an otherwise anonymous building.
Entrance gatepost statues with the initials RS (Roy Strong) and JTO (Julia Trevelyan Oman).
Colonial era gatepost. The locals describe the building behind as a "bungalow" but it has more of the air an official building.
"St Nicholas' Church, the original parish church, dates back to the 14th century but the current building is 17th century. The entrance to the churchyard features a set of skull-and-bones on top of the posts. A plaque on the north wall commemorates playwright Christopher Marlowe, who was murdered in a nearby house, and buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard on 1 June 1593."
