Thursday Doors 28 May • Short Doors
My previous posts mainly featured doors of a normal height, i.e. 2 to 2.10 meters, or some 6.6 – 6.9 foot. While the below doors may seem normal at first glance, they stand barely 1.80 meters or 5.9 foot tall. Short enough to give you a blinding headache if you’re not careful.
These short doors are usually situated on street level, and are the entrance to the souterrain (basement) which in the ‘old’ days was generally where the servants were housed. With today’s housing shortage they are now usually occupied by couples starting out.

Fascinating collection. The whole idea of doors ended up being smaller based on your social class is such an odd concept in 2020.
Some attractive brickwork, but you wouldn’t want to hit your head on any of it. 🙂

Great short doors. I’ll have to look out for some.
