While the grand days of the Cooperative store have gone, we can still remember the cultural and commercial contribution that the Cooperative Society made to the town. Many families were supported from cradle to grave, first from a little shop in Bath Street and later from the department store that grew over many years to be a major feature of the Market Place, where the Society’s plaque can be found.
Seen at the unveiling are Tanya Noon, Director of Members’ Services and Elaine Dean, President of Central England Cooperative.
