A purple door

Wilson Street in Newark, Nottinghamshire features a plain Georgian terrace, brick-built in Flemish bond, with colourful doors. The fact that each door is a different, very bright colour, makes me think the row has a single owner. Another odd feature of the terrace is that each door bears two numbers and two doorbells, indicating that it serves as the entry to two dwellings. I've photographed the terrace before because of the doors and the way it is lit by the sun. The photograph above was taken solely because of the impact of that purple door.

Palace Theatre, Newark on Trent

The Palace Theatre at Newark on Trent in Nottinghamshire was built in 1920 as a cinema, but with the facility to offer stage shows too. To furnish additional income two shops were added to the building. Unlike many cinemas and theatres it appears to have weathered the ups and downs of public taste and continues to offer a wide programme of shows. The Palace stands on a corner and its decorative facade wraps around it. As befits a building dedicated to fun and fantasy it is ornate, the most striking ornament being the three slender towers topped with onion domes.
