I was always in there buying parts for my first SD! The parts department was directly across the road. Sadly M&S Motorcycles bought them out and The Hill has never been the same since.

Was up there a few years ago - can’t remember but was that where you went through the show room to the back and up some stairs to the parts department |

That’s was later on. That part of the shop was originally the parts department. They then made that bit another show room and put the parts upstairs. Non of Ken’s shops are bike shops now. Hunters are still there but only sell parts now.
M&S are still there but never have the shutters up since the pandemic. It doesn’t help the look of the area as it’s very run down now. Such a shame considering what it used to be like.
