Whenever I drive along here I always want to reset this manhole cover so that the yellow lines are in the correct position. The cover is inscribed with the words "County Borough of Bournemouth" which has not been in official existence since 1974 when Bournemouth was transferred to Dorset. It may be even longer ago that the local council rather than the water board had responsibility for sewers and suchlike below the road.
