What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

20 years ago (20? Yikes!) it was the City of Coventry during a flying visit en route to Stratford-upon-Avon.

‘Father Forgive’ was inscribed on the wall of the high altar of St Michael’s Cathedral in Coventry as per the wishes of Provost Richard Howard following the Coventry Blitz on 14 November 1940.

I can’t remember exactly where I spotted this graffiti but judging by the EXIF data it can’t have been more than a few yards from the Cathedral…

I can’t remember where I got this roll of Silberra Pan 100 film from but I didn’t have high hopes for it after using a roll of Ultima 160 a few years ago…
