Thursday Doors; St Ives, Cornwall
St Ives, Cornwall
I’ve got lots of doors from St Ives!!!! So here are some doors and some cottages thrown in to boot! Fantastic place for DOORS! For most of these doors Mind Your Head and Mind the Gap!

Notice that many of the doors in these pictures are surrounded by pipes of some kind!

And some have tell-all signs and door knockers! This sign says “Dog” and the knocker is a wolf.

These are just the sort of doors I like. Fabulous photos.
Thanks Georgie! I followed you on the which way path today!
Thanks! I hope you enjoyed your walk!
I Did!
Awesome collection and humor! 🙂 Loved the top weathered green door, and the red doors of course!
My favorite was the weathered green door in the first picture. I just loved the business of it!
🙂
Mmmm, Cornwall, brilliant.
Some absolute beauties this week! So much so that I simply can’t pick a favourite. Thanks for the wonderful tour 😀
Thanks Norm!
You have a great collection of doors there. I think my favourite one is Norway House.
Oh, Norway House had a tiny cottage, a big cottage and a grocery store too! Loved it!
How lovely. Any ideas why it was called Norway House?
Elaine I wondered the same thing! All I could find out, for sure, is that there has been a cottage there for 200 years, and once was an artist’s studio. I can see that, because it is at the tippy top of the hill closest to the sea and the light would be excellent! There is a new art museum being built up there now and a new stone 2 story cottage with a large front garden which would be dear to have, except for all the tourists plodding to the new museum! I wonder if Norwegian fisherman once called this their area and brought their families here? There is a Norwegian Street there too and a lovely old grocery shop that might at one time catered to them. I wish I had looked for a History center!
I wonder if you might be right about Norwegian fisherman or something (although they would be quite a long way from home when they have good fishing around their own country I would think). Maybe Mr Google will have something to say on the matter. 🙂
They came and married a Cornish woman! Ha Ha! And stayed!
I just had a quick look at Google and found a little article about street names in St Ives. It says that there is no connection with the country of Norway, but it means north facing – Nor’way. Sounds plausible.
I have a very good imagination!!!!
What a beautiful collection of doors, I love them all. St. Ives is somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for a long time. Maybe next year, fingers crossed.
We had a trying first day (see first posts) but once I adapted to the fact I would spend a lot of time in St Ives, and got around a bit, I LOVED it! Lot’s to see and do and many more posts on it to come! I think you would like it too Jean!
I’ll be watching out for those, for sure. 🙂
LOVE! All!
Great finds of assorted doors in different sizes, colors, hardware and textures!
Yes, St Ives was a lovely find for doors!
Nothing like a good stud. 🙂 Hee, hee. I was going to say that second door is stunning…and then there were more and more and more, all lovely. And I love the stone buildings.

You got me on that one! I am glad to see someone actually reads the posts! Thank you!
Lovely photos. I own a property in St Ives and visit frequently!
Oh, I loved St Ives! Do you have a property there for tourists? It seems a lot of people do!
Yes! See http://www.middledeck.co.uk
I love all these doors. They each have a story to tell. Welcome to that little voice, and thank you for following my blog.
Great collection of St Yves! i might send it to my French friend!
