Could be one for Ian. One more try - is it to do with the aerial.

Yes Cathy! There you are, you are more knowledgable than you thought. It's an integral part of a satellite dish, to help install it level.
Now we need another object!

Is it a ladder dog driven into the masonry for supporting the aforementioned?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Exactly right Ian. I found it when I was inspecting the chimney for English Heritage. It was at the head and so corroded it broke off when I touched it.
The chimney head at Newtown Mill, Burnley in 1987. Well ventilated!
