Obsolete sized manhole cover

Where would be a good place to find an obsolete sized manhole cover?
We need one that is 52cm*67cm as one which has just been uncovered in our garden has a hole in it.
I've tried ebay, freecycle and a few sites on google but not come up with anything yet.

Just a thought, could you look through the yellow pages and find black smiths / metal working firms and get some quotes for having one made up?0

Why not give your local water company & the council a call they may able to help you out with a cover or point you in the direction of a supplierxxxdxxx
With compassision, good manners, kindness and dignity as your ticket you will travel far in life.0 -
if all else fails you can just replace the cover and frame with a slightly bigger or smaller one depending on how the chamber is constructed. if it is brick it shouldnt be a problem0

I go along with matty2767. You can buy a new frame and cover, as long as it will fit the brickwork.
A few inches either way will not matter.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -

Wow, someone from freecycle has offered one! I didn't think that would be likely!
Thanks for all your replies0
