What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Nine years ago it was some of the 'ghost' signs (old hand-painted advertising signs that have been preserved on a building for an extended period of time) dotted around the city of Derby.

The second 'Butcher' sign of the day… on this one I can also just make out the wording 'Pork Pies and Sausages'.

Amazingly, all these signs were (maybe still are) to be found on one half-mile stretch of London Road!
