A street has been fondly nicknamed "Balamory" by the local community - and its all down to its colourful doors. Wilson Street in Newark is well known for its brightly coloured doors, as each terraced house in a set of 16 boasts a different colour, including pink, yellow, green, red and different shades of blue.
Whilst some doors share the same colour, no two doors in a row are the same, and those in the local area compare it to the children series Balamory, where each character had a distinctive colour of clothing that matched the house they lived in. For those visiting the town centre, it is like walking past a rainbow.
Homemaker Virginia Robinson, in her fifties, has lived on the street for more than three decades. She explained that all the doors on the now popular street used to be painted the same shade of green when she first moved there, rather than all the doors having their own colour.
