That newel post still sits in my cellar, a nice piece of
workmanship,
that so far I have shown to two sets of 'new owners' of next
door!

I think you just answered the question - sort of! It's not being a
newel
post anymore, it's just taking up space in your cellar and you
don't need
it. I always try and shift stuff to people who want it but, at the
end of
the day, if no-one wants it, you have to chuck it out before you
drown in
stuff that remains unused for decades.

Well, most people's houses are full of things which haven't any
utilitarian
purpose but are there to admire or enhance. Since we have different
tastes
one man's beauty is another's junk.

I wouldn't mind taking the newel post off Andrew's hands :-)

Mary,

If you can arrange collection from Bromley (BR1) then it's yours and
I'd be happy to see it go to an appreciative home.
