Thursday doors – 11 May 2023

Doors 220 – Doors of Old Market, Bristol.

I actually photographed these doors earlier this week, which is something I haven’t done for a while. More often, I tend to rifle through my archives to find a set of doors for posting on Thursdays.

Old market is a bit of a strange part of Bristol, caught between architectural periods and bordered by busy roads. It looks a little bit tatty these days, but at one time would have been a bustling market area, and some of the doors and doorways reflect this.

There are lots of pubs and places to eat or be entertained, but the volume of traffic has taken away any sense of community or cohesion – I guess it happens to many cities around the world I guess. Faded glory.

I hope you enjoy the doors – rather too many doorfies for my liking, though!

Well, that brings proceedings to a close for another week – may I wish you a very 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.
