Doors 214 – Bristol street art and graffiti doors
A quick one today, as I will be in an all-day meeting in London. This post was prepared last night. To make things easier on myself, I am recycling doors that have already appeared on Natural Adventures in my street art posts. I hope you enjoy this selection from February to May 2022:
OK, so this is not a door, but it had once been a garage entrance, so it counts as a ghost door
This stunning piece isn’t painted on a door, but in a ghost window – I felt it was worth sharing anyway.
There is a ghost door at the top of the steps.
These ghost doors, above, were once magnificent gateways for the Bristol tram system, long since gone and very much missed. The original doors were then converted to windows, except for the middle one of five and then eventually they were all bricked up when the building was vacated, and remained that way for decades.
That’s it for another week. I hope I get time to complete my Croatia doors next time. May I wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead’
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

These are all worth sharing, Steve. I do hope they find a use for the Tram Station at some point. It looks like a magnificent structure.

The tram station has been converted into (unaffordable) flats. The plans will be for some retail outlets to emerge around the ground floor of the building, and these archways may become shop windows – it is all a bit vague. This is the way of gentrification. The days are probably numbered for street art on the archways.

I always look forward to seeing what you’ve found, Steve, and these are all enjoyable. Ghost doors are always fun but not often decorated, making these especially good finds. Hope all went well in London and enjoy your weekend.

Thank you, Janet. I was hoping to find lots of great doors in London, but found none. I did, however, find a rather nice stencil of Ian Dury (a British pop star of the 1980s), which I wasn’t expecting.
