Here's a front door. "So what?" you say. "It's only a white door in an old house." But it's not a common door. It is more than 100 years old. It is very thick and it still has old locks in it. It was thick to prevent prisoners escaping. A long time ago it was inside Bodmin Gaol, a huge construction with many doors. The gaol was built in 1774, in the reign of King George III. It was dismantled after being closed in 1927. Probably there are lots of doors like this all round the country. A large part of it became a ruin, used for displays, but soon it will be a luxury hotel.
