Janus was the two-faced god of Roman mythology who kept the gate of Heaven.
He was the god of beginnings and ends, and so of gates, doors, doorways and passages.
He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past.
DOORS in Lower Corve Street and Green Dragon Court (Yard).
Nos. 46 - 105 Lower Corve Street, concluding with Nos. 1 - 3 Louisa Powell Almshouses
Present-day numbering of properties can be difficult, as many earlier buildings have been demolished or amalgamated. These doors are in Lower Corve Street and Green Dragon Court (Yard), and some houses have back or additional side doors.
Nos. 43 and 44 were demolished In the early 1930s when Ludlow Borough Council demolished the brewery buildings and cottages on the site of the former Ludlow & Craven Arms Brewery Company Ltd to make way for Ludlow’s first relief road, the B4361.
No. 45, the large house which had been the Brewery’s Head Office, was also demolished. The only remaining trace of the L&CAB is the former stable outbuilding on the west of Coronation Avenue, today occupied by BCS Carpets.
No. 49 was amalgamated with No. 50 when Ludlow Borough Council began restoring these properties in 1965
Nos. 51 and 52 were two small cottages which were amalgamated into one house (No.51). Its door is not visible from Coronation Avenue.
Nos. 53 and 53a were demolished when Coronation Avenue was built.
No. 57a fell into the River Corve after the violent floods of 2012.
Nos. 59 - 61 were low status houses, demolished in the 1960s.
Nos. 83 - 88 were finally demolished in December 1968; Ludlow Council, despite having approved plans to renovate these properties ten years earlier, now felt that the way forward was not to restore and improve old properties, but to create new housing estates.
No. 100 was demolished sometime in the 1970s; its entrance may be seen adjacent to No. 101.
No. 105 comprises numbers a, b and c, with 105b and 105c being housed in a former malting.
The final three doors in the poster are Nos. 1- 3 Louisa Powell Almshouses.
