Possibly Liège-Guillemins Station, Liège, Belgium

[DBx]

More than possibly om, it is! All yours.

[om15]

Thanks DBx, this is a more traditional railway station that I used to use regularly, where was I?

[Opsboi]

Tippex, Belgium?

[om15]

Not Belgium, (I wouldn't get off the train in Belgium).

[4mastacker]

La Gare de Bergerac?

[om15]

Non.

A French town linked to the American War of Independence and also linked to Henry IV and his mistress. Twinned with a city named "sunshine" in the land of noodles.

The purpose of my journey each year was to carry out an annual inspection of a Citation 525 at this nearby aerodrome.

To arrive here one would leave from Montparnasse Station if going from Paris.

[DBx]

Possibly Vendome?

[om15]

It is Vendome, a very nice place.

DBx to go.

[DBx]

Thanks om. Hope this does not ruin anyone's day:

This listed building is in a large town and was built in the mid 19thC. It was originally a municipal building but has had many different uses since. It seems to have been derelict for getting on for 25 years and suffered two fires earlier this century.

It was acquired by a housebuilder for development about five years ago but as no progress has been made the local council have recently considered a compulsory purchase order.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Are we oop north?

[DBx]

No, we're not.

[DBx]

In its history this building has seen service as a town hall, trading exchange, roller skating rink, cinema, dance hall, rock venue and bingo hall.

[om15]

Corn Exchange and former Town Hall, Swindon.

[DBx]

Correct as always om.
