George Lumley's

"The finest Turkey coffee 1/4 in one pound canisters

Try Geo Lumleys 2/6 tea"

 

At the corner of Walton Street and Little Clarendon Street, Oxford. George Lumley ran a grocery from this address - 127 Walton Street; Google Street View - in the 1870s and 1880s. Notice the sloping brickwork around the window.

 

Older lettering in white can be made out underneath this sign. On top: G LUMLEYS; underneath: BACON and CROSSE & BLACKWELL'S PICKLES. (Closeups by DIZ 2009 and richardr.)
