MANHOLE COVER LOVERS

Information

There must be billions of them in the world. We pass them every day. We walk on them. We do not take any notice of them. They are heavy, and usually made of cast iron. They come in many different shapes, sizes and patterns. Look, and you will find them everywhere.

What are they? MANHOLE COVERS, that provide access to local service systems such as water, electricity, gas, and telecommunications.

Post photos of any interesting ones you find here.

Great photo anyway :-)

Comment by Carien van Hest on January 5, 2023 at 9:01am: Just tiles and stones, Val, no manhole cover. And the tiles are made for the blind :-)

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 6, 2022 at 3:15pm: MANHOLE COVER WORK IN SIGEAN, FRANCE

This was the situation a few days ago: two Manhole Covers about to be repaired (or something)

The work has started today, and now there is only one Manhole Cover

This is where the other Manhole Cover used to be, but now it has gone. Where to??

I found it! Dumped at the side of the road. Will it be put back, I

wonder?

It looks rather sad and lonely. Would any of you Manhole Cover Lovers like to adopt it and give it a good home?

(Post and Package extra: it's very heavy)
