Here’s my contribution to this weeks Thursday Doors over at Norm 2.0 blog. Some great doors over there to check out.
Top Hat Terrace
It was a bit dull this morning when I took this image, my Sigma DP1 doesn’t like dull very much
This one is from last June when it was a bit brighter
Info Board
The Terrace was built for Francis “Tanky” Smith, Detective Inspector of Leicester Borough Police in 1864, and according to the info board the heads represent the different disguises he used to apprehend criminals.
Just around the corner from Top Hat Terrace is a road of lovely houses now mostly taken over by the University of Leicester.
Gothic Look
Lovely Blue
A Bit Of Green
Great Brickwork
Well I hope you enjoy these doors, I’ve certainly learnt a bit about the city I live in by photographing them.

Those are all wonderful doors! I enjoyed the top hat bit, the Gothic porch, and that red and blue side-by-side. Really lovely.

Hello. Thank you Alexandra, there are a few parts in the city that are still almost as they were, but I’m running out of places now. I will have to take a train journey (or get another Car) and visit some other towns. :>)

I can’t blog about my work, it’s too sensitive here. But I write and photograph what I get up to at weekends
