I know what you mean Alan.
Yesterday I caught a train from the station that we used to "run" as kids. Even though the remaining buildings are boarded up or used for non-railway purposes I could still picture how each individual room looked nearly 50 years ago. I could also still remember the smell of Jeyes Fluid in the Gents
