Cast iron lamp post

[Triumphman]

I'm thinking of putting a cast iron lamp post up in my garden.
Anyone done it?
Anyone know of a reasonable re-claim yard or of one going begging or at a reasonable price? Fleabay ones are mega inflated.
I'm in the midlands, m42 m1 if that helps.

They go for an absolute fortune. I have six of them around the farm yard and was looking for another to go by the front gate when we automated it. Ended up digging out one of the others !

There are many reproduction ones on ebay, but they are all very small (about half sized). (Reckon to pay about £200 for a full sized copper lantern 'head' inc postage when you've found your post)

I'm in the market for another if you trip over a pile

I've been after one for years. The posts alone go for serious money and if the actual lantern is in good condition then be prepared to pay a small fortune.
Couple hundred should get a post needing refurb before installation.
