Click on photo for larger version.A man-hole cover on the footpath in Cathal Brugha St., Dublin. The shapes around the inner circumference are small inlaid glass blocks for light access to the cellar below. I'm surprised that there are only three pieces of chewing gum on it's surface given how long it's been in situ but maybe the gum doesn't stick very well to cast iron. I'd like to know how long this nice urban feature has been in this location. I've only recently realised that Dublin is a treasure trove of interesting old architectural features. I'm planning to do a two day walking tour around the city, before the Summer ends, to capture as many as I can for posterity.

Interesting. There's no holes to open... =)
I've just noticed that there is a flaw in the casting of the letter "E" in "self". It does not look like a wear mark.
