Doors 276 – Doors of Nottingham (Part I), UK, March 2024
I missed last week’s Thursday doors, there was simply too much going on, and I ran out of time. I am feeling similarly ragged this morning, so this is going to be a quick one. Many of my Thursday doors collections happen to be tied in with work meetings around the country, when I have to do an ‘over-nighter’. On the day of the meeting I tend to get up early from my hotel, wander around the town or city for an hour or so before joining my colleagues, and it is during this stroll that I get to take photographs. This week I bring you the first of three selections from Nottingham captured in March this year, I hope you enjoy them.
I would love to expand on some of these doors, and buildings, but am a little pressed for time.
I hope to be a little more organised next time, until then… cheerio.
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.

These are great photos, Steve. I like how Gray & Bull opticians has that wavy detail above the windows. It almost looks like a glasses frame, well, for a three-eye alien, but… The final building is amazing, and it’s on a bit of a hill, which I like. Well done. sorry you had to go from this to a meeting. I do like the fact that your meetings seem to be in cities and not some out-of-the-way facility or office park like so many of my meetings were.

Yes, I am lucky that most of our offices are in urban centres, but there are also some fabulous rural offices too. Fewer on business parks these days.

That’s a good thing. In 2004, the company I worked for moved out of a vibrant city center to a sprawling office park. I retired in 2019, but friends have said they just renewed the lease for another 10 years. I think I only ever had 3 Thursday Doors posts from walks there, and one was bird houses.

That’s a shame. Our organisation is so dispersed that travel is an essential part of the job, and of course I exploit the urban opportunities to the maximum.

I enjoyed all your photos, Steve. Loved the last one with the impressive gothic facade. Lovely woodwork on the Gray and Bull front entrance.

Thank you. I agree on both counts. I am sorry I haven’t been very active lately on view in other people’s blogs recently. I have barely had enough time to post my own. I am hoping to remedy this soon.

Lovely doors! I like the photo with the double doors, but my second favorite is the last one. Wow, what fantastic architecture.

I tried to add a link to more information about the gothic architecture, but the link function wasn’t working.
