Description: | This leather artefact of unknown use carries the mark of the London Co-operative Society (LCS) Stratford branch. The LCS was founded in 1920 and existed until 1981. It covered much of the London area, as well as parts of adjoining counties. In common with other co-ops, the LCS engaged in a wide variety of commercial activities. Retail outlets included the first self-service food shops in London, and ranged from department stores and supermarkets to small butchers? and grocers? shops. Chemists, laundries, funeral directors, and estate agents were also major areas of activity. This artefact is possibly a part of a horse?s harness, used for the LCS?s deliveries of items such as milk and bread. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | c1920 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
