Doors 59
This week I thought I’d share a few of the doors I encounter every time I walk to work, with one or two that are set back a little from my main route. Most are from Stokes Croft, arguably the most ‘colourful’ stretch of road in Bristol (which is some achievement let me tell you).
The first two doors are neighbours, one maintained rather better than the other. It is the awnings over these doors that I love, and which are so typical of some of the older houses in Bristol, although many no longer exist at all…War effort?
The next three doors are typical of the heavy tagging that goes on in this district. Nearly all of the housing in the area is rented accommodation, and landlords seem to be resigned to the futility of removing the tagging and graffiti – it is an accepted norm here. Having said that, I noticed this week that a couple of buildings have had a makeover and the walls and doors are all freshly painted…a blank canvass?
The last door I have meant to include here before but never had the right story to tell with it. As a small enterprise just off Stokes Croft, it fits the bill nicely and rounds off this week’s doors.
More next week. Go check out a whole ton more doors at: Thursday Doors – Norm 2.0

I have to admit, I like the colors in that last one. That tagging has graduated to an art form. There was an exhibit in thd Brooklyn Museum on it a coiple years back.
Love the grit of that first door.

I like the awning, too. The first one has a haunted house vibe, which would be especially strong at night, I think. Not a fan of the tagging, but the last door has personality.

I agree, the tagging is ugly, but it is there and it makes unremarkable doors remarkable.

The awnings on the first two are quite nice but I have to say the fun colours on that last door steal the show. Excellent choices 🙂

I participated in a photo prompt yesterday on ‘street art’ and I guess our part of the world hasn’t seen so much of it….yet. It’s coming 🙂
