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.

These are marvelous doors, Steve. I kept thinking that I had found a favorite, and then it would be displaced by the next one. I love the Nurses Home entrance, but the iron work and lamp on the next photo is amazing. I was pretty sure the first photo (Blower’s Repositary) would remain my favorite, but I really can’t pick one. I love that you added to your collection of ghost doors. I think you must have more of those than anyone.
I hope you have a great weekend.

I really like the first and last doorways. Blowers Repository has a regal sense to it, as perhaps evidenced by the lovely glass in the upper story. And that grand Roman-aqueduct-styled arch that was built to last…
And the shop, Perches, looks like a great setting for a movie or something like that—a bit mysterious, charming, and fitting for the architectural period.
Wonderful gallery Stephen. As always, I enjoy the sense in your photos of giving a glimpse of the space around the doors to add more to each door’s story. Thank you.
