My memory was of three large neon letters within large circular neon fixtures that lit up one at a time then stayed on all together briefly before repeating the cycle. As mentioned already I think it said C.W.S which would apply to their foodstore where Farmfoods is, their supermarkets came under the auspices of the Co-operative Wholesale Society then. One of the many different facets and divisions of what is now known simply as 'The Co-op'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bar Point was a decent pub to drop into - and one of the few in town back then with a beer garden, if memory serves me right (I'm talking the best part of 30 years ago!). We seldom had more than a couple in there before gravitating back to the Bull or Wee Howff, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A need to know basis. . on the door of the building where I got my school uniform had the letters CWSS which I got told was Co-op warehouse Society Scotland . . It felt a hit like the Co owned Scotland back then , certainly they seemed omni-present at least . . The letters PCMS, on the corner at Dunn Square above what is now Countrywide estate agents, stood for Paisley Co-operative Manufacturing Society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
