Door 15
I love this door which I walk past most days on my way to work. It is not so much the door, but the door frame that attracts me. It has that ‘distressed’ look. Many years worth of different colour paints have been roughly exposed, intentionally I think, to produce this colour burst and polite nod to the passing of time.
Thursday doors has given me the platform to talk about this lovely door.

I forget exactly where in New York this door was, but I think it was in the East Village area.

The door of this shop on North Street in Bristol has outlived its former occupants. It will be interesting to see if the new owners will keep the door as it is or decide to lose it. It is an acquired taste, but very much in keeping with the area.
I believe that Norm 2.0, who curates Thursday Doors has taken a two week break over Christmas, but I have decided to soldier on regardless – I enjoy posting doors.

The doors of this church have been boarded up since 1999 when it closed. In 2016 a fire caused structural damage to this listed building and I expect that is when this door was fitted.
The building has not had the easiest of times, having been hit by an incendiary bomb in 1941 during the Bristol blitz. There is more interesting information about this church on the short Wikipedia page.

Danger door.
The truth about this door is that I can’t quite remember where it was. Somewhere in Bristol – possibly Hill Street.

This door belongs to the Hatchet Inn, the oldest pub in Bristol which dates back to 1606. It is said that the pub is haunted and that the door is made of human flesh, beneath the tar. Hmm.
