There 's a manhole just yards past the tomb opening.

There is a manhole just behind you.

There was a manhole cover dead ahead, a big fancy one decorated with ornate, interlocking cog shapes.

There 's a manhole cover near the far end of the alley, right between the Chinese restaurant and the mailbox on the corner.

I noticed the difference because there was a manhole with its cover off where the clapped-out vehicle had stood before in apparently permanent decay.
