A quick trawl through my archives this week has thrown up some interesting doors from around the city of Bristol. These pictures were taken a little while back, and I can’t actually remember where most of them are from.

The selection is a real mixed bag of styles and periods, which rather fairly represents the eclectic architecture in Bristol. Before the blitz, there was a much more uniform transition of architectural periods, but the bomb damage has fragmented the styles, and some of the modern replacement buildings certainly favoured function over form.

I hope you enjoy this small selection:

That’s it for another week – I need to go on a couple of doorscursions soon, because my supply is drying up a little. May I wish you a happy weekend.

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.

  1. Your lead door is certainly appropriate for a “mixed bag” of doors. These are great finds. I love that badly weathered door. Now that you’ve shared it in that state, I think they should give it a proper coat of paint. The door at the bottom is a bit of an optical illusion. The depth fades in and out. I think I like the green door and the interesting stained glass windows the best. Thanks for joining us and stop working so hard – you deserve a rest!
