Back in my school days it was on my route home and I used to break into the site (it was fenced off at the time).
It felt so mysterious and strange. Headless statues, vast empty terraces - the old high level station ticket hall passed under a main road and come out the other side with a view of a huge railway tunnel blocked with an old wrought iron fence.
It's been cleaned up and opened to the public since then - which is almost a shame.
