Another found thing in Fluhrer Park - an old man hole cover with the words "Angrove's Foundry". It is undated but given the font, as we all have said at one time or another, is not new.
Click on these photos for a closer view.

I am not sure this email is going to Alan, but if it is I can help you with the history of the manhole cover. It was made by my great great grandfather and his sons in Kingston, Ontario probably around the turn of the century.

Thanks James! Not an email but a comment post. I think I spotted another around Wellington and Brock that I will get a photo of soon.
