Used to have lunch there when I was working on shopfitting in the area. Thought Ken may have known something but it must have been before his time

No my dad apparently played golf with his dad in the early seventies.

The nouvelle cuisine restaurant, which we now know is in Gt. Harwood, was trading in the late eighties.

I don't know Arrod that well, but it might be where Soprano's is now, if it's the same old Co-op.

Also on Glebe Street, across from the Post Office, the Co-operative Society built this imposing building opened in 1909 on the site of the old Vicarage in a similar style to the Town Hall.
Originally housing offices and separate shops the ground floor was later made into a supermarket whilst above furniture and other household goods were sold. A purpose built supermarket was erected across the street which has itself been superceeded. The old building did continue as a retail outlet but it is now Soprano's, a cafe/bar thing.
