The Seven Ages Of Britain

I work in an eleven storey office block built in 1966. It's all doors and corridors. One day I noticed that the door hinges came in a variety of styles, and I became slightly obsessed with them and the story they had to tell.


The Empire.
The Commonwealth.
Austerity.
Modernism.
Treading Water.
Cheap Foreign Import.

  1. I have some spare parts for the Briton door closers, but you're not having my beautiful example of "The Empire.", which I keep in good working order at all times.
