Doors 286 – Doors from Exeter, Devon – Part III, October 2023
This week I continue with my stroll around Exeter in October 2023 with a set of doors from the area around the cathedral. Naturally, I cherry-pick the doors I photograph, and for every gem, there are dozens of duds. I wouldn’t want you to think that Exeter, or any other English city I have featured, is jammed full of stunning period buildings – if only that were true. Unfortunately, the war and ensuing modern town planning destroyed swathes of beautiful old and ancient buildings, and those that remain are like J.R.R. Tolkein’s ents.
Enjoy the doors:








That’s yer lot for this week. Next time I will post some pretty special doors from the cathedral grounds, in this continuing series from Exeter.
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 all interesting, Steve. I think the wonky one should be rehung, perhaps replaced with a door with a few etched glass details. It’s a lovely entrance. The ghost door is my favorite. They did a great job on that.

Another fabulous set of doors from your Exeter gallery, Stephen. Your select great angles for your photos. I like that sideways perspective with the broom against the wall… looks like a well lived in home.. (The colonel’s green door)
My favorites are the slim church door and the ghost door. The ghost door looks like there are a great many stories to go with that now once-door, both intriguing and…fascinating.
As always great share and doors, Stephen. Have a good one!

I wonder how many people do a double-take on that wonky door. It’s as though the building is winking at us with some private joke. There’s a strong urge to fix it, though!

I too have that strong urge. I think it might be the frame that is at fault.

My favorite is the “keep out” door. It’s lived some life. It’s amazing that some of these are still standing. Thanks for sharing.
