The Door Restorer Darren McLean Maybe thatβs another reason why Brunelleschi walked off the job and the Duomo was never finished . They left the scaffolding slots and exposed brick !
The Door Restorer That's an amazing job. It's sad that we imprisoned so many beautiful doors. My Dad put hardboard over all the lovely panelled doors in our old flat back in the 60's. Fashion is a strange thing π
Dr Kathryn Ferry Nigel J.Hetherington π³οΈβππͺπΊ Batsford Books Ah! The Dover Stage Hotel. A certain young man got roped in by his new girlfriend (who was a receptionist at the hotel) to pose for a new flyer. 1985.
The couple were married in July '88. The hotel demolished Nov '88.
We're still together, and will share a drink or 2 this weekend
The Door Restorer 100% sure it will be due to trespass or break ins etc but it's the symbolism of our city's culture and heritage being boarded up and closed off from its residents. Again.
It doesn't surprise me that these doors were dumped in a skip, but it saddens me.
Bravo π to the rescuer, and admiration to the craftspeople rich welsh for their talent and skill.

David Gregory Loads of them in Dover.
A kind of signature detail of local builders & (I think) iron founders, the Stiff's!
Herbert and Philip, the main men.
Yep, iron lintels by a couple of Stiffs!
The Door Restorer Beautiful, even humble utilitarian buildings have an elegance and eye for detail that modern buildings don't even try to create.
Look Up London Wow! If I hadn't already settled on the font for my logo, THAT would be it. And the colours too!
Fabulous!
