Today I have inducted into my Hall of Fame collection of all things street furniture this slightly worn but fine example of a round metal access cover.

| A bit of essential Münster, 2026 |
And that is enough for me.
My Wikipedia tells me that Münster is an "independent city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
It is in the northern part of the state and the historic capital of the Westphalia region”
Its attractions include, “St. Paul's Cathedral, built in the 13th century in a mixture of late Romanesque and early Gothic styles.
The Prinzipalmarkt, the main shopping street in the city centre with the Gothic city hall dating from 14th century in which the Peace of Westphalia treaty which put an end to the Thirty Years' War was signed in 1648.
St Lambert's Church (1375), with three cages hanging from its tower above the clock face. In 1535 these cages were used to display the corpses of Jan van Leiden and other leaders of the Münster Rebellion, who promoted polygamy and renunciation of all property.”*
Along with palaces, a fortress, botanical gardens and much more.

To this can be added our street cover which like all such things is a reminder of the onward march of all things municipal, and more specifically the provision of a heap of services funded locally by elected authorities all designed to advance the health, protection and well being of residents be it Münster, Manchester or down Madrid.

| And in case you missed it |
So, hats off to the City of Munster, and thank you to my touring chums who sent over the images.
