£8 per day

Googling on the internet and came across this photo - The shop was demolished a few years back and flats built on the site, I moved to Leighton in 1998 and at that point it was a junk shop

So..

- I would have thought £8 a day for motorcycle hire was expensive - comments
- What are the 2 bikes in front of the shop
