That 'new' Police itself has now been gone for 6 or 7 years now, which make you feel really old when you can remember a building being built and demolished within the space of only 40 years!!
My memories of the old zig-zagging peri road around the back of the old buildings from the tunnel up to the Arial Hotel junction is now very vague in the memory cells.....largely having spent a lot of time working at LHR in the early 80's and then the early 2000's and back again from 2015 to last year, so the old layouts get lost more easily in the memory, even the old central area road layout is only vague in the memory now and that's only been gone 10+ years.
