What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Seven years ago it was Peak Rail in Derbyshire.

LORD PHIL (built by the Hunslet Engine Co Ltd for the War Department in 1943) was in charge of passenger services and had no problems handling a five coach train.

This Midland Railway wagon was looking every bit its almost hundred years age though… ‘For Internal Use Only’ refers to a vehicle not allowed out onto the main line but still used in an industrial location.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Seven years ago it was this peeling paint on the wall of a partially demolished factory… There are some rather swish townhouses on the site now…

Again I’ve no notes as to the camera or film used for the above pic but I’m reasonably sure it was taken using a Nikon F90X, AF NIKKOR 24-85mm f/2.8-4D and Fujichrome Sensia film.
