Three black doors on an old stone building and incredible windows, Lincoln, July 2023

Thursday doors – 7 September 2023 – Lincoln

Doors 233 – Lincoln City doors (Part VI) – Lincoln, Steep Hill area

The doors just keep on coming from my short stay Lincoln in July this year. These doors are mostly on Steep Hill, a street that heads down from the Cathedral and castle towards the station. Unfortunately I didn’t get time to visit the castle, maybe next time.

I have a very busy day ahead, and little time to prepare this post, so I will get straight in to it:

I think there will be a couple more weeks of Lincoln doors before I launch myself into doors of Umbria, Italy… brace yourself. Have a great 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.

  2. There’s lot I love about this post. My favourite is the bright blue door on a timber framed building.
    But I also love the three black doors after that.
    The red brick house are very charming and very old!
    The small grey cellar door is very intriguing. I could imagine that as a good photo prompt!

  7. Hello again Scooj,
    I think Lincoln should be paying you some commission for these posts or at least slipping you a few treats or something. I’ve all but packed my bag and headed over. I’m afraid it isn’t so much the doors that have lured me in, but these timber-framed buildings which look like some of my efforts at not using a ruler to draw a margin at school. They’re so sweet! So thanks very much for the trip. In fact, I might head over there on Google maps now. I’m just winding down to go to bed and a little walk around Lincoln would be rather relaxing as long as I don’t delve in too deeply…or get lost. That happens to me on Google Earth quite a bit.
    Best wishes,
    Rowena

    1. Thank you. Lincoln is a gem, but it is in a remote area of east England, and the landscape around it is very flat, agricultural and not much to write home about. I think many people just don’t travel to those parts. Parts of the city are a bit grotty, but the centre is so full of history and character.
