One of at least 3 Leicester stations at that time.

If you zoom to the top right of the station you can clearly see "Great Central Hotel" painted on the roof of said building later to become the "Van Damme" strip club and to be demolished and left as an open site from the mid 80s until at least the present time of 2012

Much of this area is currently undergoing demolision pending redevelopment
