It would be interesting to know where this pattern came from, and how it was first applied to manhole covers…

Thanks… it’s nice to view the square and round together. Interesting about the degree of wear: both new submissions are from a redeveloped river-front area which didn’t even exist until a few years ago. Surprising how the same, ancient pattern is still employed in newly-minted covers. In comparison, your older, square cover evokes the much-traversed stone of an ancient, cathedral floor.
