When you’re a sewer (or ‘sewist’ as some would like to call us), you have an affinity with others who sew, especially those who have passed. In my recent US travels I came across the burial places of many sewers 😉 You only have to look down to find them — they are scattered and memorialised in the streets of cities like New York and Boston! Here are some I found, and some other pieces of beauty seen when looking down…

No-one is buried here, but there’s beauty in the things you walk on

Not a sewer, but it should be — that’s a quilting pattern!

The tomb of the unknown sewer

Ah! Our friend, the sanitary sewer!

Look carefully — this was our XXX-rated sewer

Not a sewer, but a beautiful art deco way to surround a street tree in NYC
