I believe the plain coal plate with the simple word a Durey cast in it was for the newer properties built in London where the builders didn’t want the area to appear ‘old’.<br />These days most coal plates installed are what are known as ‘Dummy plates’ which don’t open because there is nothing below.Manhole Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467034887047969951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444655216015826707.post-23168308008276584492014-06-04T23:39:44.538+01:002014-06-04T23:39:44.538+01:00There are quite a few of these in St John's Wo...There are quite a few of these in St John's Wood - now I know what they are!Renhttp://mobile-washer.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444655216015826707.post-35263579552227733572014-02-28T00:17:54.560+00:002014-02-28T00:17:54.560+00:00Cash Loans in 24 Hours are services which are tail...<a href="http://www.1000poundstillpaydayloans.co.uk/1000-cash-loans.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Cash Loans in 24 Hours</b></a> are services which are tailored for settling your earlier debts.

I have a photograph of him and his son outside the shop which must have been taken in about 1900/10ish....<br />He had been articled as a tinsmith and was also I believe a founding director of the Chelsea Building Society.stephenhttp://www.studiopottery.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444655216015826707.post-22958503034678027622012-06-20T19:31:51.543+01:002012-06-20T19:31:51.543+01:00It's worth keeping an eye out for "Opercu...It's worth keeping an eye out for "Opercula" (note the posh name), pub The Golden Head Press, Cambridge 1965.

The Carpenter one possibly has a keyhole into which a handle could fit but none of the others show any way of gripping them. And one describes itself as "self-locking" - how does that work? They surely weren't opened from the inside - that would be a cramped and dirty job.
