Jamaica Road/Union Road.

Picture states, Major Road, Southwark, c1909. I do have my doubts, as the sign says Hancocks which was in Jamaica Road.
I know Hancocks got permission for a sign in Jamaica Road, I think at number 16.
Maybe someone can confirm, one way or the other.

Major Road, Southwark c1909.

The photo is of Major Works - Jackson's french polish factory in Major Road. Hancock's was at 122 Jamaica Road. I suspect that sign in Major Road is an advertisement and has the Jamaica Road address in the bottom line - the building beneath was a box factory.

I’m assuming this is 1915, WW1, and Union Road is Jamaica Road. Strange that they have put Union Road when I think it changed to Jamaica Road as early as 1900? Was some part still called Union Road.
