Thursday Doors – 9 July 2026
Doors 361 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part XI) – August 2025
I expect you’ll be relieved to hear, and indeed I am quite excited, that this is the penultimate Thursday Doors post featuring doors of Shrewsbury. What a town! So many doors in so many styles, it would have been a crime not to share them, however I am looking forward to moving on to something fresh.
This week’s selection is made up mostly of town house doors of the English Baroque, Georgian and Victorian eras, and rather beautiful some of them are too. I hope you enjoy them.
I have a favourite in this selection, but rather than make you guess, I’ll tell you it is the red door with the mural next to it (quelle surprise!).
May I wish you all a very happy weekend when it comes round.
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.

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.

Doors 359 – street art and graffiti doors
Those of you who know this blog well will know that when I post street art Thursday Doors, it indicates that I am under time pressure, and that is exactly the case this week. So this is a quick presentation of some repurposed graffiti/street art pictures that have appeared on Natural adventures in the past as street art posts. This is the first time I have presented them as Thursday Doors pictures. I hope you enjoy them:
(Do car doors count?)
So just a short one this week – resumption of Shrewsbury doors next time.

Thursday Doors – 18 June 2026
Doors 358 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part IX), Castle doors – April 2025
This selection of doors focuses in on Shrewsbury Castle, which sits at the northern part of the town at the neck of a loop in the River Severn, affording it the optimum strategic defensive position, with the river providing a natural defence from attack.
For interest, here is a short AI generated summary of Shrewsbury Castle:
Shrewsbury Castle is a red sandstone fortress that stands on a hill overlooking the town and the River Severn. Originally built by the Normans in the late 11th century, it combines medieval military architecture with later Georgian modifications, giving it a distinctive appearance. Its thick masonry walls, irregular layout, and commanding position reflect its defensive purpose, while later restorations introduced more refined architectural details that softened its fortress-like character.
The castle’s doors are notable examples of how architecture balanced security and access. Medieval entranceways were designed with heavy timber doors reinforced by ironwork, often set within deep stone arches that strengthened the gateway and made forced entry more difficult. These robust doorways, framed by red sandstone and defensive features, remain important architectural elements that highlight the castle’s military origins and craftsmanship.
And now on to the doors:
I was fortunate enough to walk around the castle very early in the morning, and I was the only person in the grounds, it felt like a private viewing. That’s it for this week. More from Shrewsbury next time.

Thursday Doors – 11 June 2026
Doors 358 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part VIII) – April 2025 (and August 2025)
Quite unsurprisingly, this week I continue with doors from Shrewsbury, which I have to say has been a joy of doors. It is not every town centre that has so much to offer in terms of interesting doors, but in Shrewsbury they are absolutely everywhere. The rich history of the town is reflected in them.
This selection mostly features town house doors, some of which I think are quite amazing, the light blue ones in particular. Most were photographed in April 2025, but some on a return visit in August 2025. I hope you enjoy the selection.
I think that there are about three more selections from Shrewsbury before I turn my attention to something different – I do apologise for this long series, but it was way too difficult to discard doors to favour brevity. May I wish you a happy weekend.
Until next time, see ya.

Thursday Doors – 4 June 2026
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.

Doors 356 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part VI) – April 2025
I am in Cornwall with work, and seeing family, but have to jump in the car shortly to get home before travelling up to Leeds this afternoon. This will be a very short post as a result. Some ecclesiastical doors from Shrewsbury this week.
