Thursday doors – 16 January 2025 – Doors of Sheffield

Doors 292 – Doors of Sheffield

Time flies. I can’t believe that it was November 2023 when I went on tour with my daughter to check out potential universities. Since that time she decided to go to Leeds and has just successfully completed her first term there. I have to say that I was quite taken with Sheffield, a city I hadn’t been to before, and would have been quite happy if she had accepted a place there. As it is, Leeds is my paternal ancestral home and I am very happy that she is there.

The doors this week were snapped up during the short visit we made, and unlike most of my city doorscursions, this is a one-off post from Sheffield, which I hope you enjoy:

So that’s it for another week. May I wish you a very happy weekend.

Thursday doors – 9 January 2025 -Street art doors

Doors 291 – Street art and graffiti doors of Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Sheffield, November to December 2023

I am on holiday in Marrakesh, lucky me, and so am re-purposing some doors from my street art archives for Thursday doors, because I don’t have access to my home PC. Of course I am collecting dozens of Moroccan doors to share with you later in the year.

Today’s doors were originally posted in November and December 2023, but may have been photographed some time before. I hope you enjoy them. Normal service should resume next time.

I was very, very pleased to find this outstanding piece by Sheffield artist Phlegm, when I visited the city back in November last year. I would have missed it had I not dashed down a side road, while concluding a long walk with my daughter. She waited patiently for me on the Main Street and knew I had been successful by the smile on my face.

Phlegm is a world star of the street art scene, one of a few artists who has really become famous for his extraordinary black and white scenes. There is so much going on in this piece, it is best simply to look at it and see what stories it is telling. I was chuffed to bits finding this piece (I had no idea it even existed), and it just felt so right finding one of his pieces in his home city.

Happy New Year. If all goes well, then I will have been exercising my ‘inner nerd’ this morning, fossil hunting in Bracklesham Bay. What this means is that I wrote this post, in the early hours of last night/this morning, after seeing in the New Year quietly with my wife, mother and the dog.

Back in November, I visited Sheffield with my daughter, who was looking at potential University courses. I was very taken with Sheffield, it is a lovely city with a great atmosphere and lovely people. Of course I managed to find a couple of pieces of street art. This rather large and wonderful mural is by Rob Lee. The bold abstract design is a strong statement piece that dominates the buildings that back onto a square. Fine work indeed.
