Doors 96 – A selection of doors from the Orchard Street/Lane area of Bristol
Just a quick one this week. A few doors that I photographed back in December just round the back of the Bristol Hippodrome. The houses around here survived the Blitz, unlike many others in the centre of town.






So, a set of period doors all of which I rather like in one of the older bits of the centre of Bristol.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors and you ought to take a look at the Norm 2.0 blog – the originator of Thursday Doors where there are links to yet more doors in the comments section at the end.
Have a lovely week.

The arched door boot scraper looks like a Georgian cat flap.

Built in boot scrapers? I had never heard of those. I wonder if I’ll see them everywhere now 🙂

I think they were a Georgian feature.

Some gorgeous old doors that have been through a lot.
And something new for me: I don’t remember ever seeing built-in boot scrapers either. Around these parts on the rare occasion that you see one, it’s usually a flat bottom rock or a ceramic thingy (yes, that’s the technical term) with bristles on it, set out on the porch outside the door.

One of the other doors has a stand alone iron boot scraper outside it. I’ll see if I can hunt down some more of these.

They are beautiful. Doors and street art… what a grand destination Bristol would be for me.

It has it all, and of course Bath is just a 15 minute train ride away.
