Manhole cover exhibition

Hi thete,

There is a Manhole Cover Exhibition at CACHe now.  It is approaching its last leg of the slot, but if you are in the area it is worth a visit.

The exhibition is a small one.  Anyone who had been to CACHe would know the room is not that big.  But the exhibition covered from the ship-building and foundry industires, with scaled models of wooden moulds of the covers.  There are also a small collection of the covers in the room.

A whole wall was dedicated to all the known foundries, both local and foreign, the decriptions of the markings, abbreviations.....
