I've come across a few of these HOP access covers on the streets of Glasgow recently, and I've been struggling to find out what they were for.
My best guess is that they're part of an old hydraulic system which supplied high pressure (HP?) water for running lifts, presses and other machinery.

He put his thoughts into a book - which despite the tile contains much about early railway!

The weir for the North Woodside Flint Mill on the River Kelvin in Glasgow.
Built in 1846, the weir created a pool reaching up as far as Ha'penny Bridge. Water was drawn from this pool along a shallow channel before it passed through a tunnel under the mill and back into the Kelvin. A wheel reached down into this tunnel and was turned by the water flowing underneath to provide power for the mill.

I love it when I see an image of working people making it into the historical record. These men worked at the Bucyrus Casting Company in Crawford County, Ohio. This is from the OGS Archive collection.

It's 13 and a half years since the first Scottish Climate Camp took place at Mainshill Wood, Lanarkshire. Since then, half of the polluters the group targeted are gone. 😯⌛💥

During 1920s, Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness formed partnership with American company to make powdered coal. Wouldn't need stoking, more akin to oil firing. Pneumosilicosis prevalent in coal miners - but seen as problem for workers later in life, 'acceptable' hazard. Idea wasn't a business success, and diesel dominated.
Original photo now in the Dock Museum archive.
