Two fine black doors, Leicester, May 2024

Thursday Doors – 19 June 2025 – Doors of Leicester

Doors 312 – Leicester, Leicestershire (part II) – May 2024

This is a second selection of doors from Leicester, a city I visited for the first time in May 2024. I was there for work, but made the most of my overnight stay to explore the city and naturally take some door photographs. 

Leicester is not a ‘honey pot’ city that you would necessarily choose as a holiday destination, but it has its own distinctive history, heritage and charm, and is surrounded by some beautiful Leicestershire countryside.

These doors are the middle selection of three, I hope you enjoy them:

So that’s it for this week, with one more selection from Leicester, although that isn’t quite true, because I returned to the city a couple of months later, with my team in to visit the new Bradgate Park and Swithland Wood National Nature Reserve which had just been declared and was the purpose of my visit on this occasion, so expect a second set of doors from Leicester in due course.

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 am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

  1. Once again, I thought I had a favorite right away when I saw the door within a door, but you kept showing more and more interesting doors. I love that clock tower! The door with the street art is also fascinating. This is a very nice collection.

  2. Wonderful doors all of them. I love the double black doors and the door within a door.

    My favorite is the beautiful red doors, a great deal of detailing was undertaken in crafting the doors, the doorposts and other elegant touches. Brilliant entrance.

    Great photo of the Haymarket memorial clock tower!

    Thank you for another wonderful tour through Leicester. And I must not fail to mention, my delight at seeing the street art painted door.
