This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is Door.
I have a good few images of doors taken over the years, but I am posting a recent find today, a door with a history. The Brick Lane Music Hall used to be in Brick Lane, in the East End of London. So far, so predictable. Except this door is in Silvertown, on the banks of the Thames some distance away from Brick Lane as the company moved to different premises (in the former St Mark’s Church, Silvertown). They retained the old name.
Apparently, this is the door to the only remaining Music Hall in the country (England)!
Head over here to see more examples.

One for the attention of Roy Hudd, methinks!
It;s a nice door though Sue, and goes well with the brickwork of the arch above.
Best wishes, Pete.
I know, it’s a nice door but music hall is not for me!
Me neither! I remember the ‘Good Old Days’ on TV. Cold shivers…
😱
This is a wonderful door. Love it. 😀
Thanks, Cee! 😀
I do love that Poster style lettering Sue , it really catches one’s attention . Come to the Circus and so on comes to mind 🙂
Indeed! 😀
I love photographs of doors and this one is terrific.
Glad you like it, Edith!
That’s a handsome door, Sue 🙂
It’s a good, solid example!
I wonder what happened to the church door?
Got painted red? No, I know there are two doors where there would have been one…goodness knows.
Speaking of history, Sue! I love the way the stones are in harmony with the color of the door. And such a beautiful arch. Lovely!
*hugs* have an amazing weekend, dear.
I thought it was rather a wonderful arch, myself! Glad you like it, and have a great weekend yourself 🙂
What a beauty! And that arch! Lovely red bricks, blue bricks, buffs and yellows. I wonder if they are real London bricks?
I have no idea, Jude! And I can find very little about the architecture of this place, other than that it was built in 1861-2 by the Victorian architect S. S. Teulon, whoever he was. Apparently he was known for his use of polychrome brickwork….
Polychrome? Now there’s a word you don’t see much of… there’s a bit of that on a couple of Victorian houses here.
I presume it was very much a Victorian thing….
That is a stunner of a door Sue and with the fab typography too , just perfect!
I thought this one might be popular!
This is a cheerful looking door. Hard to believe it is the door to the only remaining music hall in the hole country. I appreciate this share 🙂
Well, we are in the 21st century! Glad you liked this post 🙂
That’s not good enough reason to have just one music hall 😀
But history, it seems, is not important…and music hall is a very old-fashioned concept 😧
It may be so, but I imagine it is a great fun!
Probably is to those that like it, personally it’s not my kind of thing! 😳
May it remain and let the music ring!
😀
This is a very balanced composition as well as being a very nostalgic door. I like the touch of bunting that you left along the top it sort of enhances the story of the door…
Just found your comment, Pauline! I agree, the bunting was left deliberately, thank you for noticing this 🙂
fantastic Sue. I can hear the music!
😀
very cool shot!
Thank you!p
Two thumbs up to you for this one Sue!! Loved it – an excellent and interesting choice.
It’s certainly something different! And a nice bold splash of colour!
Wonderful door, Sue. The text too. Brings back something from my childhood, i believe…
Glad you like it, Ann-Christine 🙂
