Doors 357 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part VII) – April 2025
I am writing this in advance, because I will be on a train on my way to Cheltenham today to celebrate the declaration of another new National Nature Reserve in England. I do have a great job, and although incredibly busy is very rewarding, and chimes with my personal interests and values. This introduction is in part to excuse my brevity for this week’s selection of doors which were photographed back in April last year (while preparing for the declaration of the Stiperstones Landscape National Nature Reserve, in August 2025).
This week’s doors might feel a bit samey as some of my other posts from Shrewsbury, but there is one picture in particular that is one of my all-time favourite Thursday Doors images – can you guess which one it is? I hope you enjoy them:
You can find out more about this building and the wooden dragon on this great blog post from the Memories of Shropshire website.
Something of an eclectic selection this week. Did you spot my favourite? It was the man in pink shorts painting a pink door white – moments like that don’t happen often, and I am so pleased that I captured it. May I wish you a very happy weekend when it finally comes along.
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.

Sorry, I missed your Favorite. I thought he was part of the door.

What a delightful set! All of the Shrewsbury shots have been great. I did suspect the guy painting the door (in his matching garb) might be your favorite. The “leaning building of Shrewsbury” was fun, but this week I fell in love with Puff. 🙂

The Puff is rather well known in the town and although not very old is much loved.

As a Canadian, it always fascinates me to see the architecture in England that still stands in place from so long ago. Being such a young country by comparison, we get excited by the 19th century buildings in our towns and cities. It must be amazing to walk amongst such a tangible testament to your history.

I agree, but then I get similarly excited by medieval towns and cities in Italy particularly, that have been untouched by the ravages of time. In the UK, it is rare to have a whole street of Tudor buildings intact, just the odd one sandwiched in between other periods.

These are fantastic doors. I love that grand corner door and crooked building. Actually, it looks like you have two crooked buildings. I like them, and the Shrewsbury Library,
