These all have the lettering pivked out in silver. Two of them are on a 12" Huddersfield Corporation main, one of them for a washout valve used when the main was washed out into the river (New Mill Dike). The town crests have been painted in colours, although I should think that they would originally have been white#. I think the third plate was for a New Mill Urban District Council fire valve.
