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.

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.
