You can pinch as many copies as you like. I got the pictures from the Accrington & Church history book.

Same with Nuttall St, from Wellington St to South St, I now can't say exactly where Dicky Scents was.
or the french polishers.

If I remember rightly Walter the French Polisher on Nuttall street was called Jack Barrett, and I'm nearly sure he had an old coop shop

When I was in my teens my mate Gordon Addison (lefty) was manager of coop grocers in Bash, it became a motor Jack place of some sort, was on the corner near the Church, if I remember rightly

Re: Accrington and Church Co-Operative Society

What lovely pictures. My mum said, after her brother died, her mum didn't go out of the house for a while and mum had to go to the co-op every Friday night for the shopping. I think it would be the one in Dill Hall lane, as they lived in Prospect Terrace. My grandfather, William Broadley, was on the local board at one time. Much earlier, there was a James Clough involved with the start up of the local movement, but it doesn't say any more about him that I can find. There's a James Clough in my family 1800-1877, but I suppose it was a common name. Marie Ball

Briggs Yard, Abbey Street.

The place where Accrington & Church Co-operative Society was founded, and the early meeting place of the Accrington Weaving Union.

I am pretty sure he was on Nuttall Street, inbetween the Star Inn and the bottom part of South Street. In fact I feel he was next to a "ginnel" - there was an old grocers shop on the corner (the side of this shop faced the side of the Britannia Inn on Nuttall Street) if I remember correctly the grocers belonged to a Mr Cooper, then another shop, then the ginnel and then t'was Mr Barretts shop.

(oh drat, this is the only photo I can find and the shop we are talking about would have been on the L.H. side of this photo, probably just about where you can see part of a car!)

(Retlaw, if the photo is one of yours - nice one! Its a good un!)

Re: Accrington and Church Co-Operative Society

Does anyone recall the large wooden hut near the corner of Fern Gore Avenue and Rimington Avenue which was a Coop before the shops on Fern Gore Avenue were built ?
