He works for the water board/company (depends on what covered the area). He is opening up a surface cover (not manhole) for a valve. This was either to close or open the valve. I cannot find an image of a person doing this but here is a gate valve in a mains water network. There are no wheel valves so a rod with a socket on one end is use hence the small cover. It looks as if he has the operating rod in his hand. Maybe he was about to use a listening stick to ascertain if there was a leak in the nearby.

We never did back in the days of B&W. Not even the vans had flaishing amber lights on the roof. Road signs and cones, never saw them. Link to post Share on other sites
