This one isn't really a drain, but it's an indoor drain looking item, from the Courtauld Gallery in London!
And that's another indoor drain type object from the Royal Academy in London.
The ones below are the rest of the outdoor manhole cover collection - although about a dozen have gone AWOL since a mistaken removal from my Picassa web album! I'm hoping I'll find the missing dozen at some point!

Here's some more drain covers that we found in London in October 2011! This one is near St Paul's Cathedral!
This one's pretty - I can't remember if we've seen this design before though....!!
This one's a bit like a chequerboard!
And Bob spotted this one on the way to the art shop! He's a sharp eyed bear, you know!
The next four are ones we found in Portsmouth! This one is in the Historic Dockyard!
And this one got poo'd on by a seagull!!
Hahahaha!!!
This is an arrow one for the Brunel House in Portsmouth!
These ones are from Brighton and Hove. We went for a walk along the seafront last week, and found some more drain covers!! This one has holes in it!!!
And this one has lumps!!!
This one has holes and lines on it....
And this one is self locking!!! How does it unlock though???
This one looks a bit like a wagon wheel and has bits of glass in!!
Oh! I think this one's my favourite! It's got a daisy in the middle!!!
We found another drain cover just with lines on it.
I decided to add my three new found drain covers to the big post of all of them!
This one I found in Rotherhithe, London, last May!
And this one I found near Victoria Station, London, not far from that fancy hotel that Princess Kate stayed in before her wedding!!
(Ed's note: I can't tell if this is the same as the other starburst ones we found in Brighton.....?)
As promised, I've now collected all my drain cover pictures into one post!!! This one is the latest, taken in Brighton, England! And a round Brighton one with holes in!!
And a rusty Brighton drain cover!!
This one is from Hove in England, and has a starburst on it!
And this one has a lion!!! Below is my original post all about drain covers in Brighton, England, first posted in September 2010!!!
A couple of weeks ago, me and Andrea went for a walk. I wanted to show her the drain covers I'd noticed - I think because she's higher up, she doesn't see them but they're ever so pretty!! This one has glass in some of it!
This one says "Gas Gas" on it - Andrea says that's You Tilly Tea.
This one's pretty too - I like the squares and diamonds on it!
This one's another You Tilly Tea for Water. G G. I wonder if that's another gas one? The other gas one we saw was also a square cover... This one has a sunflower engraved on it!!!
Oh - a rectangular one! Wonder what this is for?
And another one made up of circles! Oh! More gas ones!! Yeah, I think all the gas ones must be squares. That's how they tell.
On the way home, we found some more drain cover things. This one says M but Andrea said it might be W for Water. A triangular one!! I wonder what that does? It's a Thomas Dudley Meter! I wonder what You Tilly Tea that is? I've never heard of getting Dudley and Thomas Bills.
FH Brickhouse. Hmm..... Oh, it's Water.... it says so on the bottom!!
Fire Hydrant.... Andrea says that's for the Fire Engines if they need water to put fires out.
Oh, another little square one - must be gas!
We also saw one with a starburst in!
And another FH Water one! I never knew there were so many shapes and designs!
