Red and cream

Driving through Middleport I spotted this doorway on the premises of Impact Motor Services and just had to stop and make a photograph. The Art Deco lights and the (sadly altered) door with the detailing of the faience make for a very pleasing design.

I always think of Co-operative stores when I see such buildings, but this one seems just that bit better. I wonder whether the lettering/design on either side of the lower doorway could be a clue. SCI = Stoke-on-Trent Co-operative Industrial Society?
