Thursday Doors – 2 July 2026

Doors 360 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part X)August 2025

This week I return to Shrewsbury, with a few more doors from this fascinating town near the Welsh border. The doors this week are mostly town house doors which show off the range of styles and periods beautifully. What I love about this series is that it feels like every single door is quite different from the next and that the variety is everlasting. Most of the doors in this series were photographed in April last year, but this selection was from a return visit I made in August. I hope you enjoy this selection.

I really like that last door, there is so much history there, including three brass doorbells – what stories that door could tell. Well, that’s yer lot for another week. I hope you have a great weekend, and if you’re into that sort of thing, I hope you are enjoying the football World Cup.

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.
