US manhole cover stalwart Neenah Foundry* was called Alyward and Sons from 1904 to 1922. So this one dates to Beaverdale, Des Moines IA earliest days. *Founded in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works. #manholecovermonday #neenahfoundry #beaverdale

Trondheim, Norway has some interesting iron covers. I took pics of several of them in April, 2022 never thinking that I'd end up using them for #ManholeCoverMonday.
D half and half, somewhere in Maryland. Surely under a foot or so of snow by now. #manholecovermonday
