Good church gates seem to be a bit thin on the ground in these parts, but half a gate is better than none #StLukeBrislington Bristol #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

A heavy iron door is shown in an iron frame. The hinges on the left, the large rectangular lock fitting and two bolts top and bottom are all heavy duty. The door has a heavy grill in the top third with bars across and 16 small square holes. Above the door is another grill with 3 rows of 6 holes. The door, frame and panel above all have many rivets/studs for strength. The door is shown at the Museum of London before it closed in 2023. Newgate Prison was near the Fleet River and the Old Bailey on the west side of the City of London. Will it be displayed when the new London Museum opens in Smithfield in 2026?
1780s door to a Newgate Prison cell.
From 1188-1902 men & women prisoners of all sorts held in foul conditions, many awaiting transportation/execution.
Inmates incl Wm Penn, Capt Kidd, Wilde, Defoe, Casanova.
Hardly #AdoorableThursday, so #IronworkThursday.
Will we see it in new London Museum 2026?

I do like a nice gate, ornate but not too much so.

One of the oldest gates at Castle Hedingham, known as the ‘Skin Gate’. According to legend, a thief was once hung there. The ironwork is beautifully crafted.

now a Sainsbury’s Local, but back in the day, probably a pub. Thame’s got quite a few examples of this type of #ironwork. I do miss #IronworkThursday
A double iron door with a flame motif and lion-head door knockers set into an intricately carved stone doorway.

First visit to castle after a £27.5 million restoration
A staircase now follows the same route that 12th Century visitors took to the main entrance door.
The door has been recreated to same c.1121 design & colour

Unusually Mouse spoiled for gate and overthrow choice at #StJamesBristol. As if the bold blue of those doors needed further highlighting
South porch (left) and south aisle #Thursgate #IronworkThursday #AdoorableThursday
The C15 south aisle of #StJamesBristol with its fine Perpendicular cusped panel windows, neat little garden and fence. The blue door is... shall we say... a bold choice #IronworkThursday #AdoorableThursday
A group of Viking artefacts is displayed in a glass case. On the left is an array of horse equipment such as bridle bits, horse shoes and spurs. In the centre are seven battleaxes, four fitted with wooden poles to show size in use. On the right are two swords and below are six spearpoints and two arrow points.

Battles between English + Danes at London Bridge in early C10 were stuff of legend.
Found in 1920s nr north end of bridge, were these #Viking weapons lost in battle, or tossed in Thames to celebrate victory??
Hope they'll reappear in new London Museum opening in Smithfield, 2026. 🏺
