hello again apologies for the lacks of posts etc, alot been going on lately and not had chance to get anywhere although have seen some brilliant stuff

anyway i cant offer you much ifo apart from the chap above the door is Cardinal Woolsey who was some priest/monk over the Road at the Abbey in abbey park back in the dark ages

i allways rember the buiilding as a child looking up at his picture after my dad taking me dog the park for a kick around with the ball, will be sad to see it go as its one of my childhood memories so to speak

oh yeah visited with Goldie87 comedy access / exit and some tence moments inside when we were convinced security had joined us within the building
