I did try that but failed to notice any play, but the noise is loud and certainly points to a failed bearing and the pedal is not right.

I will remove the rear wheels and dust covers tomorrow and check they are tight.
I spun all 4 wheels as well whist the car was jacked up but I failed to notice a difference in any of them by sound or feel.

Thanks for all the help so far, I appreciate your efforts in helping me here.
