Set up in 1868 by 20 workers from the Royal Arsenal, the RACS began as a food shop in a house in Plumstead and expanded into a huge range of commercial, social & political activities. At its height (circa 1975) the society had spread across most of South London and parts of Hampshire, Berkshire, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, had 500,000 members and sales exceeding £60million. Yet by 1985 its commercial problems were such that it merged into the national Co-operative Wholesale Society.
