Unearthing the Secrets of Hidden Stories

Manhole Covers Exhibition

The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage (CACHe) organises this “Manhole Covers” exhibition in hope of unearthing the secret information hidden in the manhole covers, so as to attain better knowledge of iron foundries of our city, its craftsmen and operatives, to exhibit the birth of a manhole cover, and to explore the history of Hong Kong’s progressive public works. Through these most common covers, we present you the least explored territory of Hong Kong’s history.
