Williams Bros Direct Supply Stores Five Shillings Token

Williams Brothers Direct Supply Stores Ltd were a London chain of grocery shops. They issued loyalty tokens in various denominations, similar to Coop tokens. Someone must have been annoyed at losing a five shillings token!

 

During Edward VII's reign a landfill site was in use at Henlow, Bedfordshire, bringing household rubbish from London by train. Today, part of RAF Henlow is built on the site; bottles etc. have turned up there whenever cable trenches etc. are dug there.
