A booklet of neon coloured rubbings which celebrate one of London's most enduring examples of industrial design, street covers.
(Preface) 'London's streets are filled with secret subterranean compartments. Vast cavernous tubes that hold our electricity, our water, our transport and that once stored the coal that pushed our city into the industrial revolution. We wanted to celebrate the gatekeepers to this underground world: street covers. Impeccable pieces of industrial design, these metal lids are examples of the beauty threaded throughout the functional fabric of a city. Our hope is that this collection of street covers can serve as a reminder that a city's beauty isn't limited to art galleries or grand architecture, and that intricate design is everywhere.'
