Truly striking entrance to 1840s catacombs of London's Brompton Cemetery: stairs lead down to heavy #IronworkThursday doors fitted w

* downturned torches - the light goes out.
The west door of St Asaph’s cathedral with its beautiful iron scroll work. No idea how old it is - I just liked it #ironworkThursday #adoorableThursday
Metalwork behind that door at St Mary’s Priory Church, Deerhurst, Gloucestershire and some on the front too

You didn't think for a second that Mouse would deprive you of a peek at the associated gate, did you? And very nice it is too #Thursgate #IronworkThursday
Ok, so technically a gate not a door, but a fine contender nonetheless for the #AdoorableThursday / #IronworkThursday social media meeting point (it's PolesdenLaceyNT since you ask)
