Following on from yesterday’s Wander to the Statue of Liberty, here is one of the pedestal doors. Each door is different, with relief panels depicting components of the statue. They’re also huge! As you can see, I couldn’t get the whole thing in the shot. These doors (there are two of them) hang at theContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Statue of Liberty Pedestal”

Thursday Doors – The Tower Of London
I will be doing a post (or two!) at some point about the Tower of London, but as it’s Thursday I thought I’d share a selection of doors from inside the fortress. The Tower, one of London’s most recognisable landmarks, is almost a thousand years old. It’s built on older Roman foundations, so there areContinue reading “Thursday Doors – The Tower Of London”
Thursday Doors – Bath
A short but sweet post to accompany this rather sweet door, which I found while in Bath this past weekend. I loved the glass circles and the wrought iron trees – I also liked how they’d preserved the original shop sign painted to the left hand side of the door. Bath is a wonderful cityContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Bath”
Thursday Doors – St Leonards Church, Shoreditch
This little green door stands in the porch of St Leonard’s Church, Shoreditch, one of London’s oldest churches. The original church is thought to date back to Saxon times, but was rebuilt in the early 1700’s after the steeple became unstable, resulting in the glorious building you see today. And if you’re familiar with theContinue reading “Thursday Doors – St Leonards Church, Shoreditch”
Thursday Doors – In The Village
I had a little time after work the other day, so decided to photograph a few of the lovely Georgian doors in the village where I work. It’s a small high street, 16th century half-timbered pubs next to Victorian villas and tiny cottages, older timber framed buildings ‘modernised’ with Georgian facades. The village dates backContinue reading “Thursday Doors – In The Village”
Thursday Doors – Faded Glory
These two attractive green doors are in the town of Silves, Portugal. I use the word ‘attractive’ because I love the tiles, the cobbles, the ornate metal balconies and the old doors with curved frames, traditional style hearkening back to when the building was originally constructed. However, I don’t love the unsightly (and dangerous-looking) tangleContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Faded Glory”
Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton
My Thursday Door this week comes from a small Midlands town called Nuneaton. It’s a town I’ve been to many times – it has an excellent market and, when I was a child, Saturdays usually included a visit there. When I was three, I was even briefly lost at the market – I remember standing betweenContinue reading “Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton”
Thursday Doors – The British Museum, London
It’s Thursday, and time for another door. This week, I have a very very old door. It currently lives in The British Museum, London, but over four millennia ago was part of someone’s tomb. This is the false-door of Ptashepses. Made from limestone around 2380BC, the door is of a type common in tombs ofContinue reading “Thursday Doors – The British Museum, London”
Thursday Doors – Aldwych, London
It’s Thursday, and time for Norm 2.0’s weekly Thursday Doors Challenge. This week I have a photo of a door I took last summer but forgot about – I found it while scrolling through my photo library looking for something else. There were a few reasons I took a photo of this door. One isContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Aldwych, London”
A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor
I had a very productive writing day today. The kidlet went back to school and (even though I missed her) I managed to clear a bit of clutter out of my office, plus take a walk in the freezing cold sunshine. And it seemed to pay off. A nagging structural issue in Under Stone (AmbethContinue reading “A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor”
