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.

Access cover with the distinctive Art Nouveau logo of the Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company on Bath Street in Glasgow.

This company was formed in 1911 and changed its name to the Automatic Electric Company in 1932, making this cover between 91 and 112 years old.

It's only the second such cover I've come across om the streets of Glasgow (but I'm sure there must be more out there!).
