I wonder if they could recognize the scent of the place as they got nearer.

If they could detect anything over the nice smell of steam coal from the engine...

But yes, there were characteristic smells and AR was aware of them. One my favourite quotes from any of the books, PM, as the Ds settle down for their first night...

'A smell of new-mown hay drifted from the meadows on the further side of the river. "There isn't a lovelier place in all the world," thought Dorothea. London last night, and now Beckfoot. The summer holidays had begun.'
