My Grandfather was the manager of a CO_OP but that was in Walton-le -Dale near Preston
I have been trying to find Archive files on the co-op but no joy upto now

I remember the Co-op building being at the top of Union Rd when I was a kid, living on White Ash Lane. What a waste to knock down such a decent building, only to replace it with a crappy car park.:(

On the extreme right of that photo may be Garinda's familys bakers shop.

Thankyou so much for your help,much appreciated xxx

Re: co-op in ossy.
 

That crappy car park is going to be a church when they have raised enough money to build it.

What Faith Neil, don't often hear about a new Church being built these days.

Re: co-op in ossy.
 

In Ossy it could be anything :D
I don't know sorry. If I find out I will let you know.

Re: co-op in ossy.
 

How much are they collecting to build this church. A penny a week?
It nust be nigh on twenty years since the Co-op building was knocked down. It could be argued that it was the second best building in Ossy, after the Town Hall.

Cheers Neil............:)

I seem to remember another coop further down near Haworth Street or am I dreaming?

Re: co-op in ossy.

Re: co-op in ossy.
 

Thought most churches these days were raising money to keep up the maintenance and struggling ,dont know why they would build another one
