Doors 298 – Doors of Buxton (part I), April 2024
Another work trip, another town to explore. This time I was on a team trip to plant some trees in the Derbyshire Dales for an EU LIFE project called LIFE in the Ravines. Our team work in government nature communications, and this was a chance for us to ‘get our hands dirty’ on the kind of work we talk about and promote all the time, but less frequently get to experience.
What this meant was that I had to stay overnight before the morning of our tree planting, which gave me the perfect opportunity to explore Buxton (the spring water place) a town I had never been to, and spend the early morning snapping a few doors.
This first set of doors from Buxton is not what I was expecting to find, but my visit just happened to coincide with a classic car auction near the botanical hot house, and the opportunity to photograph some car doors was simply too good to resist. I am not really a car person, for me they are a way of getting from A to B, so my labelling these cars might be way off the mark, and I would be happy for any car buffs to put me straight. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did:
I expect that is enough cars for now. I am on holiday next week, but will try to post something if I get time. If not I’ll see you in two weeks. Have a great 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.

I hadn’t thought of vehicles having doors until I saw your photos. I especially liked the jeep.

Red car definitely not an E Type Jag
Perhaps an old Lotus
Green car looks like a a Triumph Stag convertible
As with almost every car ever made all the information you appear to require could have been found either at the front or the rear of the car . . . 😉

Yep, deliberately left out the identifiers in favour of the doors.

Oh spectacular share, Stephan! I love classic cars. Although, I know little of make and model I enjoy classic car shows!
Love the red four door car.
Great share!
Enjoy your holiday! Cheers.

There are very few cars today that get more than a second look from me – they all look the same. But the classics are wonderful and you have a great collection. And thanks for planting some trees!
Whether you post or not, enjoy your holiday.
