MORGANSTRAAT



Manhole cover in the middle of the street, established by Stichting Vastenavend (the local carnival organization) in 2011, to celebrate 6 times 11 years of carnival since WW II. The text is in the town's dialect. It means:

Just crush here
all vexations underground
and fun will remain
among us.


The street is named after the British military commander Charles Morgan (1575-1642), whose richly decorated tomb still can be seen in Saint-Gertrudis Church.
