Interesting option. I don't think I'd trust myself to get the hole in the wall vertical and the hole in the timber axial so that it actually ends up vertical. The wall also has a rounded covering of mortar (flaunching?) at the top, so I'd have to hack that off to get a flat surface to mount the post onto, and even once it's gone the surface probably wouldn't be flat because the bricks are old.
My question was really about how far into the substrate you need masonry screws to go to get a decent fixing.
