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.
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.

Thursday Doors – 28 May 2026
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.

Thursday Doors – 21 May 2026
Doors 355 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part V) – April 2025
It is my wife’s birthday today, which is a special family moment and means that I will be necessarily brief for today’s post.
After a brief hiatus last week, when I ran out of time to prepare some Shrewbury doors, the series continues with a mixed selection this week, from the town steeped in history. I hope you enjoy this selection of doors and views:
When I took the photographs of the bridge, I hadn’t realised until afterwards that a lost soul was being talked away from sitting on the edge of the bridge by a police officer. In my original image (much higher resolution than here) I can see the pair. I am happy to report that the ‘jumper’ was safely talked away from the bridge, and I hope received the care and attention he needed.
More to come next time. Have a great, and in the UK, Bank Holiday weekend.

Thursday Doors – 14 May 2026
Doors 354 – street art and graffiti doors
I am very busy at the moment and haven’t had time to prepare the next set of Shrewsbury doors, so as is my custom when under time-pressure, I am repurposing some old graffiti/street art pictures that have already been published on this blog that feature doors. It means I can keep my rhythm going, quickly and easily.
These pictures were originally posted in October-December 2024 and were photographed from May 2024 onwards. I hope you enjoy them
That’s it for this week, I hope to get back on track with more doors from Shrewsbury next time. Have a great weekend.

Thursday Doors – 7 May 2026
Doors 353 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part IV) – April 2025
This week I bring you an assortment of doors from Shrewsbury, some of them domestic and some commercial. All of them a bit quirky or old. I hope you enjoy them:
I can’t even guess what is going on with the brick work over the middle door – I’m not sure that building regulations would let you get away with something like that these days. Maybe there was never a door there originally, but two windows side by side, and a door was recessed into where the right-hand window had been?
It is great to see some painted utility boxes from Shrewsbury… I’ll see if I can dig them out as a special from the town.
That’s it for another week. Lots more to come next time. Until then have a great end of week and weekend.

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 – 16 April 2026
Doors 351 – Doors of Shrewsbury (part II) – April 2025
This week I continue the series of doors from a trip I made to Shrewsbury last April. During the briefest of stays (one night) I managed to snap dozens of doors, which perhaps tells you a little about the town itself and the variety of doors associated with different architectural periods.
This week’s selection are mostly town house doors, I hope you enjoy them:
That’s about it this week, more from Shrewsbury next time. May I wish you a happy weekend.
