A NEW photo campaign is showcasing the best of Bradford’s entrances throughout November.

The “A-Door-A-Day” initiative, the brainchild of local Nathalie Tolmie-Thomson, began at the start of this month and will run until December.

The campaign is in collaboration with the Bradford Civic Society and tasks Bradfordians to take photos of the city's doorways - from the ornate and spectacular, to those doors which are more simple in their design.

Each day, the group is sharing the public's entries on its Instagram page.

Si Cunningham, Head of Bradford Civic Society said: "It's a really nice idea that's come from one of our members. Now more and more people are using Instagram and Twitter to showcase the unique features Bradford has to offer.

"It's a nice way to share something positive about the City."

The campaign is also, in part, a competition and Mr Cunningham said they've had 41 doorways pictured so far.

Members of the public have been getting involved by exploring and finding some of Bradford's most unique doorways, then sharing photos by tagging the Bradford Civic Society (on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) and using the hashtag "ADoorADay."

This has included wooden structures representing a bygone era, as well as one doorway which depicts Mr Bean hiding from a T-Rex peeking its head round the door.

One entry can be made by an individual each day, with a Bradford Civic Society pin up for grabs, if their entry is selected as on overall winner on December 1.

Mr Cunningham said the photo with the most likes and interactions will win for the month.

Campaign creator, Mrs Tolmie-Thomson, said on a blog post about the initiative that she wanted it to bring Bradfordians together in appreciation of the city's best entryways - be it hidden or in plain sight.

She added: "Bradford Civic Society are big on their buildings and spaces, and we as a city are very fortunate that so many of the beautiful ornate doorways of the Industrial era (and before and since) are so remarkably well preserved they deserve to be shouted about."

Mrs Tolmie-Thomson said another reason for focusing on doors is the symbolism behind them, particularly their representation of change.

She added: "Be that the turn of the seasons and the dawning of the upcoming festival of light period (Diwali, Hanukkah, Yule, Christmas, or Bodhi Day), or the personal metamorphosis of new relationships, business ventures, or changes in circumstance."

Mr Cunningham said: "Ultimately, it just gets people looking at Bradford in a different way and to appreciate the uniqueness of the place.

"I think it's really interesting that some [entries] have come from Manningham - it's very historic but is often overlooked when shouted about online."

In the future, he feels the campaign could evolve into something further and mentioned the idea of looking at Bradford shopfronts next year.
