These two rather fetching doors live in the old part of town, where buildings stretch back in time to the sixteenth century. I would imagine the houses they belong to are not much younger than that, despite their more modern Georgian frontages.

As you can see by the date, this door is a little newer, though with design nods to an earlier age. 1902 places it at the height of the ArtContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Number 28, Old Town”
