Thursday Doors – 7 May 2026

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.
