Introduction
Manhole covers, utility access points, you drive or walk over them every day and don't think twice, if at all, about them. But look more closely - see how many different types there are. Many are dated, embossed with the names of manufacturers lost to the past. Utilitarian, but decorated in many cases, continuously developed over time. This blog will look at some of these which can be found on the streets.
