This morning I will be live tweeting my favourite manhole and drain covers, from my government-mandated morning walk.
First one. Classic design and shape. #thread

I like this one because it& #39;s really simple. Bit also includes the word foundry so was probably made by dwarves.
TfL branded rapid slideout.

What I like about the Aquamax drains is they look deliberately designed to eat dropped mobile phones
Square Post Office Telephone classic. There& #39;s a lot of these round Walthamstow if you keep an eye out.
There& #39;s still a few Cable and Wireless manholes out there if you look carefully.
These GPOs will still be around long after I& #39;m dead.
The subtle suggestion of cables and plugs on this is utter filth. I want to take this manhole cover out and buy it drinks.
This is arguably the iconic UK manhole design. But you don& #39;t see it much these days.
Someone once told me they were tricky to lift.

And we& #39;ll finish with the alliterative joy that is a Dudley & Dowell from Worley, Worcs.
