Thursday doors – 31 July 2025 – Doors of Godalming

Doors 318 – Doors of Godalming, Surrey, March 2025 (Part IV)

Rather remarkably, I have remembered that Dan is taking a Thursday Doors holiday this week, but I have decided to press ahead with this week’s selection as I have a little bit of time (last night in fact) to write this post and I might as well make hay while the sun shines.

This is the fourth and penultimate selection of doors from Godalming in Surrey, photographed on a work trip overnight stay. This week’s doors are mostly from the High Street running through the centre of the town. Enjoy.

Godalming High Street, like so many other high streets in English towns, is stuffed full of little gems and wonderful history, heritage and architecture. It is all too easy to keep your head down and not look at what is around you. Having an interest in doors acts like a portal (no pun intended) into this world of curiosity of your surroundings, and it has certainly prompted me to look at the places where I happen to be through a different lens. One more selection and then I move on to another place. See you next time.

Thursday doors – 17 August 2023

Doors 230 – Lincoln City doors (Part III)

I am on holiday in Cornwall and celebrating my sister’s birthday birthday today, so this is going to be a short one. This is the third set of doors from a trip in early July I made to Lincoln. These doors are found on the approach to the Cathedral in the old part of the city at the top of the hill. It is easy to forget that there are many parts of old England that are still very much intact. I hope you enjoy this week’s selection.

Thursday doors – 27 July 2023

Doors 228 – Lincoln City doors (Part I)

Following a successful, albeit short doorscursion to York, I was fortunate enough to visit Lincoln a week or two later with work, and once again had an evening to wander around the city and collect some doors and drink in the atmosphere of an incredible city.

I have never been to Lincoln before, and I don’t think it was ever particularly on my wish-list of places to go, but having been there I can’t recommend it highly enough. Lincoln is a small city that lends its name to the county of Lincolnshire on the eastern side of England. The city boasts one of the finest cathedrals in the country, something I didn’t know about until I visited, and I was utterly blown away by its magnificence. Lincoln has a fascinating mix of architecture which appears to run in concentric layers of old to new from the castle and cathedral at the top of the hill.

The next few Thursday door posts will feature doors from Lincoln, starting with these rather unremarkable doors, close to the railway station. They get better, I promise.
