Pocket Door on an Internal Brick Wall

Has anyone fitted a pocket door on an internal wall.  We are wanting to move the current door from one side of the wall to the other - probably moving a foot or so, and will have 2 openings.  Given this, can i just build a goalpost and put the frame in between or do I need to fill the current opening, create the new opening and build out from there?  

 

Thanks

To fit a pocket door into a brick wall needs a double size hole (one for the door and one for the pocket). that will need a serious lintel to support the brickwork, plus whats above it if its a structural wall.

Oh dear - I’ve attached a pic below. Will I need a structural engineer to do calcs on this one as I think it’s a load bearing wall and also above the stairs. 
 

if it’s too much bother then it might be just barn style rolling doors instead!!
