Some city appliances are very old and interesting.....Not only manhole
covers, but also fire plumbing......There are brass fire fittings that
date
back into the 19th century and are still in use. these would be
interesting
to photograph also.

I found the old hand operated iron water pumps dotted around Berlin to
be fascinating.

When I was in Europe about 20 years ago, I noticed that
some of the door knockers and hinges were very old and quite
beautiful.....One could make photographing these a great hobby also.....

There's enough of those in Paris to keep you busy for many years.

I bet London is full of them also.....All you'd need is a lens (set) that's
the right length to fill the frame from a tripod set up on the street in
front of the average house....
