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.
