Doors 97 – Some small cellar doors in Bristol
In some of the older commercial buildings in the city there are cellars, and the quickest access to these cellars was from the roadside via doors that opened directly onto the pavement. Perhaps we are most familiar with these cellar doors outside pubs, where the barrels of beer are still delivered through them.
This is just a little selection of these doors, and another little door thrown in for good measure… a little extra if you like.
Here we go:

This first door is the same one as the feature image, photographed a few months afterwards. Spot the difference?






And finally a little bonus door, with the emphasis on little.

So my friendly doorsters, that’s it for another week. Have a great weekend whatever you get up to.
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.

They look pretty low. Probably just high enough to hand in merchandise comfortably?

Interesting cellar doors! It’s the first time I’ve seen doors like these. Charming little door at the end too.

These cellar doors are pretty common in the UK. I’ll try and find some more.

These are great. We don’t get them like this over here. That splash of red is especially invigorating.

These are terrific! Any chance some of these were used to receive either coal or ice deliveries back in the “old days”?

Probably either or both, along with many other goods I imagine.
