What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
15 years ago it was the faded grandeur of Sutton Scarsdale Hall near Chesterfield in Derbyshire.
Dating from the 1720s the Grade 1 Listed structure has been derelict since the 1920s and was initially preserved in 1946 by Sir Osbert Sitwell of nearby Renishaw Hall but is now in the care of English Heritage.

Last time I visited the hall, the interior was closed to visitors but I understand it has now reopened.
