Yup, I remember sticking my tiny foot into the X ray machine at Thomas Walker's shoe shop on Cross Church street in Huddersfield.... Jim Fish moved his Amateur Radio Shop into those very premises many years later.

Let's not forget all those ex-aircraft glow-in-the-dark meter movements, and the big synchro compass indicators so sought after as rotator position indicators. Residue from scrapped WWII instruments keeps getting found on the beach at Dalgety Bay. The place has been coned-off for years.
