Step back in time with this evocative image of a 1960s cast iron coal hole cover, aptly named "Cole Hole." This relic from the past is a testament to the rich industrial heritage that once dominated our urban landscapes. The coal hole cover, a humble yet essential component of traditional British homes, was designed to provide access to the underground coal stores that fueled the fires of our forebears.
