I love it when old street furinture is left in place when streets get renovated. This great example is from Oswald Street in central Glasgow. I really want to know what it used to be for as the instructions on it are very precise, but are now rather cryptic given how this area has changed over the years.

Glasgow Corporation Water Works access cover from a street in Finnieston in Glasgow. This is a very functional item of street furniture, but there's something very pleasing about its design.

I found this access cover on Collins Street in Glasgow today, and I think it must be a little lost. Either that or Thames Water pipes take some very odd detours!
