My original post of three doors from the UK (albeit two were actually from Ireland) was not intended to be serialized as a weekly post. But then Norm from Thursday Doors commented on my doors – and so we have progressed on a new track.
In this week’s post I am revisiting my collection and adding three more doors from the UK. I have also corrected the title of my earlier post and sub-titled it “Part 1.”
The first two images are of grand Georgian doors from the Royal Crescent in Bath. I came across these doors in mid-December one year, just following the first snow fall of the season. In some parts of the world, we are still seeing some snow, so these doors are still “in season.”
Apparently, door No. 22 has received some notoriety, due to its colour. In the 1970’s, the resident of No. 22 painted her door yellow, while all of the other doors were painted white. The Bath City Council insisted it should be repainted white, the Secretary of State for the Environment intervened, and the door remained yellow. Rebellion in Bath!



The third door image was shot in Oxford, and is probably the earliest vintage door in my digital collection. The longer I study this door, the more I discover its eccentricities. One of the stained glass panels differs from the other two as the grid pattern is smaller. And what happened to 10A?
I like that last one and I love that there was a Bath door color rebellion, even though there was only one rebel. What a wild and crazy woman! But it’s a rather pale yellow, not an in-your-face sun color, so I guess they felt they were lucky she’d only gone this “far.” 🙂

The fresh fallen snow in your first image is a nice touch! My favorite door is with the colored glass – actually the whole front of that house I really like!

Life is good when the biggest beef you have with the neighbours is the colour of your front door 😀
Great shots 🙂
