Sewers everywhere... (page 4 of 8)

Thanks for this lovely plaque 🙂

Stef

Hi there.

As promised, I’m laying a few tiles on the table to revive this...

I didn’t think anyone else would ever be interested, so I’m happy to share them with you.

These are the different designs you can find in Santiago de Compostela.

See you around, maybe.

Thanks so much for all your contributions! The post is all cleaned up! 😎

Next up... 😉

Hi there,

Here’s a surprising use—and a second, very unexpected purpose—for a recycled commemorative plaque turned into a manhole cover! The "manhole cover" is in the Andravoahangy market, located northeast of Antananarivo (Madagascar). No comment.....

Hi there! 🙂

Are you sure it's a sewer cover and not a commemorative plaque that was intentionally placed here originally?

Stef

Good evening.

If this plate is on the ground and not on the town hall wall, it’s a misuse.

As for claiming it’s a manhole cover...?

Good evening,

The city hall of Tana was never located in this very popular neighborhood of the capital..... Also, it's worth knowing that this plaque is fitted alongside others made of raw cement that cover a drainage canal.... Another thing to know is that in this country, there are no longer any cast-iron sewer covers because the ones that existed during the colonial era were all stolen to be melted down... This photographed plaque was used in this way, but it’s a reflection of many other moments that have disappeared for reasons that don’t need to be explained in this forum or this topic in particular... There you go

Thanks for the explanations! 🙂

Stef

😉Good evening,

As usual during my trips, I make sure to check out... manhole covers, and even in Alberobello (Italy, Puglia region), famous for its Trulli, I found one.

Here it is!!

Best regards,

Hey 🙂

Thanks for your contribution. It also dusts off this post that had been forgotten. One of these days, I’ll have to snap a nice "Made in Marseille..." sign 😛

Stef

😉Good evening,

You should really thank my husband... he’s on the hunt for manhole covers! Here’s another one I forgot to send you.

Taken in Germany, in Hildesheim—a gorgeous city.

Very pretty, thanks for this new post! 🙂

Really creative theme! Here’s a contribution with a plaque I stepped on in the city of Rhodes (Greece). You can make out a deer silhouette... just like on the columns framing the entrance to Rhodes harbor (photo).

Good evening! 🙂

Thanks for this lovely contribution... and it’s a nice refresh for the post 😉

Stef

St. Petersburg. No particular design, but the date (1985) and the CCCP (USSR) mention really take you back in time...

Thanks!!! 🙂

Stef

Hey everyone! 🙂

My latest find from the village of Pino in Haute-Corse. Sure, it’s a bit commercial, with the logo of a big oil company, but still a cool sign. 😛



One of these days, I should post a Marseille sign, but I haven’t found any nice ones yet... 😕

Stef

Hey Stef, if I’d come across this site with photos of manhole covers, but there aren’t any from Marseille either 😕

Probably because they’re not exactly original or aesthetic. I’ll post some as soon as I remember to snap a pic 🙂
