Many thanks to Brian for these pictures  which show the Leeds Industrial Co-op building at Temple View Tce Leeds, the Wakefield Borough Co-op building at Outwood in Wakefield and Unity House Wakefield.

Stansted Mountfitchet


Looks like it's been trading for a very long time.

Kidderminster

The former Kidderminster co-op does not seem to have survived.  A brochure in the library, called 'Redevelopment of the Central Premises' shows a lot of good things.  But most have gone and this appears to be all that remains although even I am not entirely convinced.

Northcote Road Battersea

Making a bold statement in yummy mummy country. Suspect a former Somerfield

Wandsworth Road Lambeth

A former store from 1928. The foundation stone was largely intact and a smaller stone stated that the stone was laid in the presence of William Rose, Founder of the Society. The RACS was founded in 1868 so 1928 was its Diamond jubilee.
