Oldest Pub – #ThursdayDoors

This is the door into Seán’s Bar, the oldest pub in Ireland. It’s 1,115 years old.

Thursday Doors is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join in and create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week, visit nofacilities.com for more information.
