Jogamel, 1d - H(O)ARD. I had DEP(O)T at first but I'm sure that's wrong.

I'm far from finished. Some clues are making little sense at the moment.

The 'w' is extra - so 'o' inside 4 letters for 'firm' = def 'store'

Thank you orson and drxx I get that now.
It’s a slog for me as I’m finding lots of clues very difficult being unsure of what is the definition to many.

jogamel - I think ifor goes for some very wordy definitions to confuse us ('act that's generous to old folk', being a good example).

Where does 1a start? Col. 1,2 or 3?

Thanks.

Column 1, sunray.

I've solved all the clues and filled the grid but I can't see an answer. That's partly because I can't determine the extra letters in some of the down clues, ones beginning:

For poet...
What remains...
Spy tigers...
Constructed hill...
