It's my first attempt at the City Daily Photo Blog theme day. I must admit that I found it quite a challenge, but I guess that is one of the reason to do it! This blue door isn't just any old blue door. It it a blue door on a building that was designed in the 1830's but not built until 1998. The lost plans for the remaining Regency terraces' alongside the Queens Hotel, on the South side of Imperial Gardens, were discovered in The Municipal Buildings in the 1990's. The Plans were refined to include underground parking and construction began. When The Broadwalk was built it completed the look of Imperial Gardens. Better late than never. Check out the other daily photo blogs around the world that have joined in with the theme day.

ReplyDeleteBuilders taking 170 years to turn up.... could this be a record?
ReplyDeleteGood theme choice, and welcome aboard.
Sorry for the confusion Marley! And I still do like your blue door ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess there wasn't much need for underground parking in the 1830s
