Thursday Doors

16-03-17

I haven’t been out and about much this week, taking the opportunity to do a bit of tidying up in the garden when the weather has been good. Did manage to get into town on Monday though and captured a few doors for the excellent Norm 2.0 blog.

Another former Hosiery factory, the stone and brickwork set the door off.

Former Police Station #2

The police station was built in 1933 of Portland stone and is Grade 11 listed.

I couldn’t finish without a Blue Door.

Took this one in 1993 on my first visit to Riga, Latvia. I liked the old cannons embedded into the pavement and the two imposing faces. (The door has now been restored and to me at least doesn’t look anywhere near as good)

I love the gallery. All the doors are great in their own way.

I liked all the doors, but the last one is a wow. Blue doors are mighty fine …. as well as the smiling faces. It feels welcoming.

I am partial to doors to police buildings (cop shops I call them as a retired LEO), but those blue doors are exquisite!!!

  I have a thing about old factory/commercial doors, trying to photograph them before they get restored or the building gets demolished.
