I have only just realised they are quite modern but they are amazing. I have been sharing them with a couple of friends from Southern Ireland, they also love them.

Why are we suddenly here , well after 10 glorious years in S Africa, my husband who has a particular serious cancer git he chance to join a drugs trial her at Barts.

Luckily we invested in an apartment in the area 21 years ago so that is now our base while his trial gets underway.

The rounders give us a purpose to go out every day for a walk. Thank you Keith Bowler , they’re amazing – we both love them and others who can’t see them first hand are getting to see them thought my daily finds.

Michelle Ward made me aware of these covers on her 2016 blog:October Manhole Madness.

Would you give me permission to put excerpts and photos on my blog?

also on the off chance anyone has any information -there are some initials on the corner house of Bell lane BSC or some combination; I have wondered for ages about their meaning but again I cant find any information about these so if you do know would really appreciate this.

Many thanks

Spare modern lines combined with a heavy iron patina of age.
