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.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on June 1, 2024 at 11:01am: RESULTS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL MANHOLE COVER DAY

I would sincerely like to thank the following members of this Group for contributing Manhole Covers:

** Lisa Cox

** Bradford

** Katerina

** Raphael Nadolny

So to all four of you THANKS!

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the other 20 members of this Group did NOT contribute to this very special day. I could name you, but I will not shame you -- although I would like to think that you are feeling contrite.

Please participate in the FIRST INTERNATIONAL MANHOLE COVER DAY which I am organising that will take place TODAY (Friday 31 May, 2024).

To support today's First International Manhole Cover Day please post a photo of a Manhole Cover near your house, apartment, villa, ranch, tent or château here at IUOMA.

They will feature in an exhibition to be held here in Sigean in September 2024.

Thanks!
