This brings back memories of playing around the ruins when taken to Abbey Park as a child.

I can't seem to copy and paste on here anymore but Hylda Baker's imdb makes reference to it and I've read it in other places too. That's why there were lots of scenes with Hylda and Jimmy talking to each other through letter boxes and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
