Did I mention it was pouring rain on Penny Lane?

We went on the Magical Mystery Tour in London and managed to see Penny Lane in the pouring rain.

All that is left of this pre-dissolution building is the tower. Like all of Glastonbury it has a surreal feel about it. It seems like a strange place to build considering the effort it takes to get to it, it is always windy and chilly, and it's just kind of spooky. The last Abbot was hung here, but I don't think that is the only cause for the imposing feel of the place.
