This is a recent addition to the online map that accompanies our book. It was revealed by the removal of a covering (and protecting) sign board at the corner of Station Road and Plevna Road, Hampton, Middlesex TW12. The photo is from Jenny Mairlot.

The full map with over 1,000 London ghost signs can be found here, and is the diligent work of the book's co-author @RoyReed@mastodonapp.uk: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1KjHS8uGZeV08xYooNSgUUVZuiTSvXIRq&usp=sharing

This addition to London's ghost signs landscape goes a small way to redressing the loss of the sign in Walthamstow back in 2014: https://ghostsigns.co.uk/2017/10/rip-london-co-op-frederic-street/.

In the book, we focused our research on signs that can still be seen, which we felt was important for its utility. However, the lost Co-Op sign in east London was slotted in on the acknowledgements page. This was in recognition of the fact that scores of people and organisations co-operated with us in the research effort that went into the book, and it wouldn't have been possible without their collective efforts.
