Doors 283 – Doors from Exeter, Devon – Part I, October 2023
Regulars may have picked up that I am currently on my annual fishing trip in with a great friend, Andy. We have been doing this since 1986 or so, and only missed two years. Once I was away in the Falkland Islands and the other was Covid lockdowns. Although this year’s trip has been delayed, we are here now.
On the way home from last year’s trip we stopped off in Exeter, because Andy’s daughter is a student there and her digs needed a bit of pest control. While Andy spent a couple of hours with his daughter I went for a stroll around the city and these are some of the doors I photographed. I hope you enjoy them:
A rather boring door with a nautical theme.
This Tudor house was moved from its original position in Exeter to this spot. In the process it lost two gables windows in the roof.
That’s it for this week, I need to get ready for fishing later on today. More from Exeter next time.
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.

Lovely doors and great medieval buildings. They look in great shape and well maintained. Loved the interesting sort of mini- step out the Stepcote Hill door. The greyed wood/patina ancient door, Tiddy House is my favorite. Not sure what they are but I like what looks like bags at that door. Great share Stephen. As always I love your capture of the sunshine shadows and light in your photos.

I’m not sure how I (almost) missed this. I love that first house. I think you know I like houses built on/into hills. That’s a fantastic example.

I agree, it was quite a steep hill.

It’s hard for me to imagine walking among such aged structures. They seem almost ghostly. What a walk in history that must have been.

It was indeed, but in most cities in the UK, we only have small pockets of these old buildings. We lost so many in WWII.
