however for those anoraks out there...............


Originally made of black oak, the high-security replacement was installed after 1991's IRA attack, in which a mortar launched from a van parked in nearby Whitehall exploded in Number 10's back garden. The wooden original - thought to be Robert Walpole's door from 1735 - was replaced with an identical-looking high security door with a solid letter box.


Door is bomb-proof metal with high-gloss paint
Replica fitted during regular maintenance and repainting
Even wooden original - replaced in 1991 - is very shiny


"At that point they realised a solid wooden door just wasn't strong enough and replaced it with a metal-backed version," says Cressida Finch, exhibitions manager of the Cabinet War Rooms, where the original now takes pride of place in the Churchill Museum.
