Ghostsign for London Cooperative Society Ltd,collage.

            On a pre Xmas visit to friends  i came arcoss this old signage and then found this info on the sign from Signs from a bygone age website.

This ghost sign for “London Co-operative Society Ltd. Open to all” was revealed recently in Hampton, Greater London, Middlesex at the time of the shop . 
The “Hampton & New Hampton Co-operative Society” was founded in February 1879 & from September that year they opened their first store which operated from a single room in a house on Milton Rd. On 30th June 1880, the store moved to these premises on Station Rd  to create the “Hampton & New Hampton Co-operative Stores” which traded in groceries, provisions, drapery & in 1894, they even bought a railway coal wagon to supply their customers with reasonably priced fuel. By 1897 the stores were doing so well that the premises were extended, doubling the footprint. Groceries were sold in the new premises & their drapery department took over the original site. By 1928, the store became a branch of the “London Co-operative Society” & traded here until its closure in 1979. An earlier very faded sign can just be seen beneath.
