A blog commemorating the unique fusion of form and function of UK coal hole covers - Victorian urban street art at its finest.

Westminster Bridge Road, London SE17
It was this beautiful coalhole cover that made me think of setting this blog up. I came across it near Waterloo station. The text around the outside ring reads, "This ring to be fixed with Portland Cement. For Haywards Patent Plate 12in". The next inscription towards the middle reads "Clapham & Camberwell", then "Economy.Efficiency. Durability " and the name of the foundry is in the cross in the middle: "H.C. Davis and Co".
