Mergers Part 1.

Manchester & Salford Equitable Co-operative Society merged with other co-ops to form the Norwest Co-op in 1970, later to become the Norwest Pioneers...it's all part of The Co-operative now.

The Story

An unremarkable building that is now 83 years old. But it has one of the last meeting rooms, above a Co-op shop still with co-op activity. There used to be thousands of such rooms and halls in Britain. This is maybe the very last room.

It is very likely the oldest shop in Chorlton with continous trading, that is grocery. It's been run as a co-operative society branch since 1929.

Hoping to publish something in either print or video of the history. From a quiet country lane, the building of a housing estate, the opening of the shops and the end of farming. A fascinating story.
