Thursday Doors – 30 April 2026
Doors 352 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part III) – April 2025
Well I completely fluffed it last week. I have been so busy at work, with both Wednesday and Thursday last week out of the office, that I quite ran out of time to post Thursday Doors. I guess it happens from time to time, but at least I am trying to get ahead of the game this week – I prepared some of this post last night!
The is not too much to say about this selection from Shrewsbury other than that they are a mixture of town house doors and timber-framed shopfronts. I hope you enjoy them:
A note taken from the Original Shrewsbury website about the last building featured is as follows:
Costa Coffee is one of Shrewsbury High Street’s many classic timber framed Tudor buildings. But if you look closely, you may realise that not all is as it seems! During restoration works in the 1990s, the upper carvings were given a colourful update with the addition of the heads of Margaret Thatcher and Michael Heseltine back to back, as they apparently were in political terms, the words ‘Poll Tax’ are behind them. The carvings along Grope Lane include grapes and motorcycles.
More to come from this remarkable market town next time. Until then may I wish you a fabulous weekend.

Thursday Doors – 9 April 2026
Doors 350 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part I) – April 2025
You may have gathered from previous Thursday Doors posts, that my job takes me round the country from time to time, and I end up staying in towns and cities in England for a night and make the most of my limited ‘free time’, basically the evening of arrival and the morning before work, to photograph the doors, and in those places where it is present, the street art too.
The next few Thursday Doors posts will be from Shrewsbury last April. I was working with a partnership on celebrating the creation of an expanded National Nature Reserve in Stiperstones, Shropshire, and the nearest practical accommodation was in Shrewsbury.
The architecture of this town is quite extraordinary, with some stunning Tudor buildings alongside a mishmash of other periods and on the outer rims some rather less than attractive modern additions, including the hotel I stayed in.
Shrewsbury is door heaven, so please bear with this series, which might last a few weeks. I hope you enjoy this first selection:
So that’s it for this week… a gentle introduction to Shrewsbury, a town that really ought to be on any visitor’s itinerary. Until next time, have a great weekend.

Thursday Doors – 2 April 2026
Doors 349 – Doors of Liverpool (II) – March 2025
Of course, I completely forgot that last week was a break from Thursday Doors, so it might come as surprise that this week is part two doors from a trip I made to Liverpool a year ago. My daughter and I went there to accompany and support my wife who was running in the Liverpool half-marathon. Between the start and finish of the race, we were kicking our heels a little and I took the chance to photograph some doors and some street art too.
This is quite an eclectic mix of doors, without any particular theme or style, that will conclude this short stay in the home of the fab four. I hope you enjoy the doors:
So that is it for this week, and from this whirlwind trip to Liverpool – next time I’ll be sharing doors from another time and another place. Have a fabulous Easter weekend.

Thursday Doors – 26 March 2026
Doors 348 – Doors of Liverpool (I) – March 2025
A year ago, my wife ran in the Liverpool half-marathon. My daughter and I went to accompany and support her, taking in a mini-break staying in the city for two nights. Although I have been to Liverpool before, I have not been able to sight-see or wander around, so although this trip was brief, and largely centred around the running event, I did get to see a little bit of the character of the place.
This week’s selection of doors and buildings are from the dockland area around the start and finish line for the event, I hope you enjoy them:
This is an iconic building in Liverpool and indeed England. The birds at the top are known as the Liver Birds, and appear on the badge for the Liverpool football team.
This bus is the same model that I used to get to and from school when I was a kid. The bus was the number 43 that went from Muswell Hill to Highgate Tube Station, and I would hop on and off with all the skill of the Artful Dodger, with my cap and satchel, even if the bus was moving slowly. Of course, I would sit on the upper deck and try to avoid paying for my ticket, smiling angelically at the conductor when he came round. If successful, I would spend the 2 pence on sweets in the local tobacconist on my way home.
That’s it for this week, and there will be more from Liverpool next time. See you then.

Thursday Doors – 19 March 2026
Doors 347 – Street art and graffiti doors
Whenever you see a street art Thursday Doors post from me, it indicates that I am very busy and have little time to prepare new pictures to post. These street art doors have already been posted here on Natural Adventures in August and September 2024, but not in the context of Thursday Doors.
The reason I am so busy I will be able to reveal next time, but I have a huge focus on Thursday for an event that should make the headlines in the UK media – we’ll have to wait and see.
This post was hastily pulled together on Tuesday evening before settling down to an appointment with the TV and a rather important football match.
I hope you enjoy these doors, and things should get back to normal next time.
Have a great weekend all.

Thursday doors – 5 March 2026 – York City
Doors 345 – Doors from the City of York, (Part VI), June 2024
This week I am sharing the penultimate set of doors in this series from the City of York. I was only there for one night, arriving late afternoon on one day, and in a meeting for the next before returning home to Bristol. All of these doors were photographed during a short window of time in the evening and early morning of the two days.
While I enjoy the ‘on tour’ days of my job, I only ever really get a superficial glimpse of the places I go to, but mark them up for potential fuller visits in my retirement. Photographing the doors offers me a tantalising taster, which I hope comes across in these Thursday Doors posts. I hope you enjoy this week’s selection:
Built in 1465 beside York Minster, St William’s College originally housed the Minster’s chantry priests, who were paid to pray for the souls of benefactors, and was named after Archbishop William Fitzherbert. After centuries of changing uses, from private flats and a Civil War printing press to near-derelict slum housing, the Grade I listed medieval building was restored and today is used as a historic venue for events, dining, and public visits.
Next time will be the conclusion of doors from York, and I am getting rather excited about what to share then. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
