Thursday doors – 27 July 2023

Doors 228 – Lincoln City doors (Part I)

Following a successful, albeit short doorscursion to York, I was fortunate enough to visit Lincoln a week or two later with work, and once again had an evening to wander around the city and collect some doors and drink in the atmosphere of an incredible city.

I have never been to Lincoln before, and I don’t think it was ever particularly on my wish-list of places to go, but having been there I can’t recommend it highly enough. Lincoln is a small city that lends its name to the county of Lincolnshire on the eastern side of England. The city boasts one of the finest cathedrals in the country, something I didn’t know about until I visited, and I was utterly blown away by its magnificence. Lincoln has a fascinating mix of architecture which appears to run in concentric layers of old to new from the castle and cathedral at the top of the hill.

The next few Thursday door posts will feature doors from Lincoln, starting with these rather unremarkable doors, close to the railway station. They get better, I promise.

There will be more from Lincoln City next week and for the next few weeks, in the meanwhile, may I wish you a very pleasant 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. These are great doors, Steve. I always love seeing a train station, and that one seems amazing to me. Sorry the sweet shop was closed. I like the boat. Good job. I’m looking forward to the rest.
