I had just finished a blog about the Adelphi Bank and its Brotherly Love Doors when I came upon Norm 2.0’s Thursday’s Doors.
So I thought I’d pull out a few of the photos and included them into this post. If you would like to read about the stories behind the carvings please go to “Cafe Nero’s Friendly Doors.”

I worked in this building in 1974, when it was the Co-operative Bank (having previously worked for Liverpool City Libraries). I was back there last week and was planning to include some photos of these doors in my Thursday Doors post for next week.

Sorry about that, it’s just like the 92 bus. None for hours and then two turn up. I have to say though the doors are still in pretty good condition, even though they are over a hundred years old.

Not at all. I think I’ll still put them in my post but if you don’t mind I’ll add a link to yours – which are infinitely better.

Another place to add to my growing list of places to visit in Liverpool! The door with its panels is fabulous … I’m so glad it was preserved.

These are wonderful. It’s hard to tell from the pics though if these are carved wooden doors, cast metal, or perhaps something else?

My research tells me that they were cast in bronze.

Fabulous doors. A lot of my ancestors were from Liverpool, but I’ve never been there, I’ll have to take a trip some day.

It’s usually the other way round in that there are a lot of Liverpool people of Irish descent.

My great grandparents moved there from Ireland and my grandmother and some of her siblings were born there. They came back to Ireland wealthier than when they left and bought a couple of BnB’s and a hotel, so Liverpool was very good to them.

Wonderful doors. Phila -delphia is the city of brotherly love. Adelphi means brothers but Delphie was what the Greeks thought was the belly button of the world…just a bit of fluff.

That building is stunning and then you add the doors… they are amazing. So glad that they were able to keep them.
As a side note, while I didn’t frequent a Caffe Nero when recently in Scotland, I did see some. It took me a few times passing by and trying to figure out why they would name a business Caffe Nerd before I realized that it was an “O”. 🙂

Thanks for that. It’s the stories behind the panels are what really fascinates me.
