The inscription reads 'Cooperative Sundries Manufacturing Society Ltd'. Exactly what 'Sundries' are is not clear, but the earlier works on the site are labelled on OS maps as 'Sauce and Pickle Works'. Note the beehive carving in the central pediment, the symbol of the Co-operative movement. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3591884 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3591886 .
