Comments:

Apparently this is a coalhole
Coal holes: These are covers from the period when the houses were heated with coal, into which the coal bags were poured, so that the coals did not have to enter the houses.
These lids were used in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The lid is very similar to that of another coalhole but slightly different in writing
