This cover in the footway is perhaps for a connection to a phone box or into the sub-post office that is now a small convenience store. The letters P. O. / T. presumably stand for Post Office Telephones. Not sure how this cover was fixed or removed. The distinctive diamond shapes appear on many types of cast iron goods associated with former public utilities.
