Our building at @durhamclassics.bsky.social is looking much smarter after repairs this summer - but we kind of miss our purple front door!

37 and 38 North Bailey, Durham. The left hand building is red brick with black beams above. The right hand building is a duller brown brick, with a cream front door. The sky is cloudy above the buildings.
