Thursday doors – 1 June 2023

Doors 223 – Doors of Weston-super-Mare (1)

Last weekend, Paul H and I took a trip to Weston-super-Mare to photograph some of the street art there, not least the impressive recent additions from the last three years thanks to Upfest’s involvement with the Weston Wallz initiative. We hadn’t even left the station when I spotted a surfeit of doors on a Network Rail maintenance wagon – this was going to be a good day.

Being a seaside town, many of the doors are in fairly poor condition, from all that salt spray in the winter months, so, plenty of characterful doors, but not many ancient ones. The doors were a bit of a bonus on what was actually a street/graffiti art mission, but Paul was very patient with me as I snapped up a few interesting doors. I hope you enjoy them:

More to come from this trip in due course. My I wish you a happy end of week.

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.

  1. You must have known I’d give a gold start and a A+ for the train doors. That’s a great capture. I like the seaside doors with the patterns in the windows. I guess that was a thing. It’s interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a patter like that repeated across several doors.
