Doors 353 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part IV) – April 2025
This week I bring you an assortment of doors from Shrewsbury, some of them domestic and some commercial. All of them a bit quirky or old. I hope you enjoy them:
I can’t even guess what is going on with the brick work over the middle door – I’m not sure that building regulations would let you get away with something like that these days. Maybe there was never a door there originally, but two windows side by side, and a door was recessed into where the right-hand window had been?
It is great to see some painted utility boxes from Shrewsbury… I’ll see if I can dig them out as a special from the town.
That’s it for another week. Lots more to come next time. Until then have a great end of week and 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 weekly Thursday Doors post and his Sunday recap.

Brilliant doors, I love the first one especially and that Tudor house at the end is fab!

These are wonderful doors. I’m trying to figure out the wonky door, but I can’t imagine how it got that way or why it was built that way. It is interesting.
I sense a bit of an optical illusion going on in that last photo. It seems to defy my having a clear look at it. It’s like it wants to move.
I really like the shop with the bay windows. Thanks for sharing an interesting collection.

Fantastic gallery, Stephen. Once again this week, I enjoyed the skillful irregularity of some of the doors, like the three blue doors. I would hate to try to get furniture through that middle door (or maybe former window as you mentioned).
I love the tall brown door (#84); that door handle looks pretty high up to reach comfortably.
Great photos all around, I like the scene you captured (including mini utility boxes with the fox artwork) at the Henry Tudor House. There is a lot of history in that building, I suspect. A unique perspective in that photo too, with a peek into the lane under the second story of the house.
Thank you for the walk along what looks to be a wonderful town full of well-preserved historic houses. It is great to see them still in use and vibrant.

It looks to be a ‘properly old’ place, if you know what I mean? A bit on the dusty side. I’ve only been once, and briefly at that. Love that wonky door frame xx

It gets super-popular in the summer, a bit like York.

Great doors, but my favorites are the blue doors in brick buildings! An interesting place to romp around, I’m sure.
