That's helpful, benbrangwyn, thanks. I might need to replace the rear cassette/freewheel, and the rear wheel also needs truing, so I thought this might be something I could do whilst I'm at it.
I've been riding the bike for a year and a half, fairly regularly, in mostly dry conditions. However, because the bike is 25-odd year's old, I have no idea whether the hubs have ever been properly seen to, even if ostensibly they look okay.
