Taken from Duncan Place this only shows part of the Co-operative Stores in Loftus, going to the left was the shoe department followed by the entrance and stairs to the offices, where on dividend day the queues extended out into the street. After these came a quite large drapery, and at the end of the block the butcher’s shop. There was also an electrical store and a large furniture store farther down to the west of Loftus. However the Archive is now aware that the original Co-operative building was further down Zetland Road towards West Road and will locate and display the shop frontage.
