My memory is pretty shoddy but next to Slims was a hardware store. Possibly...?
Hmv also in Churchill Square where I remember buying This Charming Man by The Smiths on 12 inch.

Yeah think you might be correct with the hardware store - I do remember HMV being there and Tesco and Habitat was at the back too!!

I also remember those huge grey ugly concrete block planter things that were as came out of BHS at the rear of the shop.

I remember also a huge department store in Western Road called Wades.

Along with Busman and 10 Pence Man there was also Bag Lady who would shake a plastic bag at cars, buses and anything really. I remember my dad beeping his car horn as we went passed her on London Road.
