I have various images of Dunston Pillar, but unfortunately do not have all the information to be able to give full attributions.

Inscriptions
The stone engravings can be seen on the pillar, but are very difficult to decipher. However, there is some detail about the inscriptions on this website: Dunston Pillar - MACLA.
If you study my photo of Dunston Pillar, there seems to be more extensive than that mentioned and I found this image - which is also interesting:
The most useful website that solved the whole puzzle for me is:
All Things Georgian - The Dunston Pillar: Celebrating the 50 year reign of King George III
Further information can be located on these websites too:
