Here for your enjoyment is a colourful arrangement of street utility cabinets. In Carvoeiro they have got over the problem of drab looking street furniture
Now for the drain covers – not colourful at all but functional
A collection of Utility Covers etc
I thought I would start off today with a mass posting – in future I will try to add only one drain cover at a time.
A gas cover – not sure what the NJ G and B stand for – can’t read the other letter, it a may be L
A Hepworth cover not sure what it covers up!
Post office phone cover – now they may read Open Reach?
Stockport drain cover grid
Gas tap cover
Old drain cover – New Street Henley on Thames
Ubiquitous Water meter and mains tap covers
Electricity manhole cover
Possibly Victorian soak away cover
PAM cable covers Cable and Wireless company
Ensor sewage drain cover
Not sure what this old looking cover is protecting!
Thames Water hydrant cover (possibly) all seem to be painted over in yellow.
Finally a Steelway Brickhouse Dudley 8048 cover
Hepworth IOS
These covers appear to be available for purchase from builders merchants and eBay!
