Co-operative Ghost

I'd walked over to the other side of the valley and paused to explore Idle a bit more fully than I have before. This fabulous ghost sign was one of my rewards for the expedition.

I've had to go heavy on the contrast to draw out the lettering, which seems to be a detailed exposition of everything the local co-op could do for you. This includes: grocers, butchers, tailors, bootmakers, dressmakers, decorators... And the key message: "Cooperators, support your own stores."

Across the road, a ghost of Sunlight Soap.

Co-operative Ghost in context, and in more authentic pale livery.
