I remember as a child in the fifties there was an deserted station, lit only by a few bulbs
So do I!
I was told it was "Post Office Station" however it appears to have been renamed "St Paul's" c.1937. As I frequently later used to look for it without success so I suspect it was actually St Paul's temporally closed for refurbishment / repairs. I also remember a gutted station entrance observed from the top of a double decker.

My minds image is more gutted that this shows but that may have been after more bombing or immediate post war demolition.
