Re: co-op in ossy.
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.

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

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.
