An interesting Chimney Pot hybrid in Castleton

Chimney Pot appreciation can be easier when the pots are being displayed or used at ground level, though seeing them in their natural habitat atop the roofs of the cityscape is a thrill. I'll share such pictures of those in the future.

Here is a pot in Castleton, Derbyshire about a decade ago if I recall correct. 

The base is rectangular but the addition of the side vents gives an impression of rocket thrusters - which of course is a complete anachronism for the original designers. Comparing pictures on Chimney Pot catalogues, the base section matches some of the image of pots described as 'Knights'.

The top section appears to be mounted on top and around the lower section (instead of inserted within). The six stacked bowls with what could be called a tulip style rim on top is intriguing. These bowl sections are described as 'Louvre' when there are four of them, or 'Leeds' when there are three. It is also reminiscent of the Halifax and Bradford styles, except those bowls are all-in-one, and the top section really appears separate. So if you can held ID this Chimney Pot, do let me know.
