Screenprinted poster, âPimlico pensioners food co-opâ in bold green text on a blue background. Smaller text reads âevery Friday 3:30 p.m. Ebury Bridge Methodist Church, Westmoreland Terrace.â
This poster was made by Paddington Printshop, a community graphic design and print workshop in West London, co-founded by John Phillips and Pippa Smith. Between 1975-1991, the centre printed over 400 designs for left-wing community organisations. These publicised local political campaigns such as housing rights and food co-ops, to social gatherings including play days, gardening clubs, gigs and festivals. Their do-it-yourself style was part of the proto-punk ethos.
