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

Coleman Street, Brighton
Visiting my old Hanover stomping ground the other day I had to make a pilgrimage to the street that not only bears my name but also where one would most hope to find a coalhole.
And I'm pleased to report that there were a couple of remaining covers, despite multiple resurfacing of pavements.
While there was a common 'Every and Newman' design, this one was unlabelled with a pleasing symmetrical design of concentric circles and diamonds.

There are plenty of coalhole covers in Kemp Town. This is mine in Sudeley Street. Looks like the one above, but with ""Woollett North Street Brighton" emblazonned around the perimeter.
