A photograph of an old wooden double door, painted black, with inset windows in vertical strips on either side. These are protected by early 20th Century ironwork, a pretty pattern of squiggly parallel lines and ornamental spirals, painted white. Outside these doors a second set of metal security doors, also painted white, also ornamental. Each panel has a partial disc in the upper outer corner, either lines radiating out like a stylised sun, towards the central seam where the two doors meet. These different layers or ironwork interact pleasingly.
