Doors 236 – Lincoln City doors (Part VIII) – Gateways of Lincoln
This September, and the months leading up to it, has been an incredibly busy time for me at work, landing four major projects. I hope that things will start to calm down a bit and that I will have a bit more time to allow space for creativity and imagination. I have found it difficult to keep my blog posts going through this period, but have managed to maintain the discipline, which is good for my mental health. Unfortunately the haikus have dropped off, but I am excited to get back into a rhythm with them.
I will be treating myself to a few days in Cornwall on my annual fishing trip, starting tonight and it is the perfect way to ‘come down’ from such high intensity.
This week I pick up with some more Lincoln doors which I have broadly themed into gateways, most of which would have had gates or doors at some point. After this week, I think there might be a fun leftovers post, before moving on to some Italian treats from the summer. Here we go:
OK, so a bridge with a Tudor building over a river isn’t technically a gateway, but is is a rather impressive sight and one I wanted to include. The doors below were up the passage way on the right of the building, near the spiral fire escape.
One final push with work this morning before I go on my escape. I hope you have a great end of week and 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.

Doors, gates, gateways, openings, portals and bridges are always welcome, Steve. These are wonderful photos. Enjoy the fishing.

That “steep” hill road after the gateway is certainly a challenge!

Steve, first of all, congratulations on your four projects as well as your upcoming “escape.” 🙂 Those escapes keep us sane, don’t they? Thanks also for this ramble through what I think of as quintessential English doors and more. I’m looking forward to the Italian ones too, but not until your rested and refreshed. Enjoy!!

Hi Scooj,
Sorry to hear you’ve been so busy at work and struggling to keep up with the more important aspects of life LOL. I really enjoyed your photos of Lincoln and all the historic architecture. Felt like a little break away. I have been flat out trying to clear up our house over the last couple of months. The place got so jam packed full of stuff and urgent intervention was required. even the bathtub has been packed with stuff including numerous photo frame some with pictures some without. I also have bragging rights. After all, how many people have a tutu in their bathtub? It wasn’t her main performance tutu for her solo but it’s a tutu nonetheless and there was also a tiara to go with it. The photo frames have now moved to the loungeroom and hopefully we’ll get them up on the wall over the weekend. It feels good clearing the decks but it’s such a massive job.
Hope you enjoy your fishing trip. It sounds just what you need.
Best wishes,
Rowena

Thanks Rowena. A great day of fishing yesterday. We seem to have been clearing out our house for a couple of years now, but there is still so much more to do. Also, after 25 years+ the walls and carpets are looking very tired and in need of some TLC. We’ll get there eventually. Have a great weekend.
