Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eleven years ago it was the Light Clock at the Royal Derby Hospital.

Designed and installed by world-renowned clockmakers, Smiths of Derby, the clock represents “The Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing who was brought up in Derbyshire and corresponded with Dr William Ogle of Derbyshire Royal Infirmary in 1860 regarding the rebuilding of the hospital.
