What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Eight years ago it was this row of cottages in the Peak District.
The eight railway workers’ cottages at Blackwell Mill in Derbyshire were served by a tiny railway station, Blackwell Mill Halt, until March 1967 when it, and the whole railway line between Matlock and Chinley was closed.
The railway line on the left still links Buxton with the quarries at Tunstead and Peak Forest.
