What is a gully?
A highway gully is a drain in the ground covered by a metal grid and is usually at the kerbside of a road. Rain water flows off the road surface into these gullies and then through underground pipes and sewers. The majority of gullies are connected to public sewers that carry both foul and surface water.
What is a manhole cover?
A manhole cover is used to stop anything or anyone from falling into a service shaft. They are usually round and found on roads and pavements.
