Thursday doors – 15 August 2024, Manchester

Doors 274 – Doors of Manchester, UK, November 2023 (Part III)

A quick one from me this week. I have a meeting in London today and had to prepare this post last night, along with several other posts. This is the third and final instalment of doors from my November trip to Manchester last year with my daughter.

As with last time, nothing too out of the ordinary, just doors that I saw on my ramblings. I particularly like the four-story building, not for its nor its neighbour’s doors, but because I’d love to know more about the merchant who originally had it built, showing off their wealth with four whole floors compared with the two-story buildings either side.

I hope you enjoy.

Well that’s all folks for another week. I’m not too sure what I’ll be posting next time. Prepare for a surprise (for me as much as for you).

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. Excellent photos all. I like the fishmarket entrances. So much history must have passed through those gates to be sure. It is a grand gate for a fishmarket. I like that.

    Love the pub door and its sign “Take a rest…” are perfect homage to a song I believe? (I might be mistaken)

    And thank you for the sharing LS Banksy’s artwork. Fabulous!!!
