These records were deposited in three groups, the first in 1983 via United Norwest Co-op, the second and third by a former employee via Mr White in 1997 and 1999. Apart from one ledger, no records for the society's education department or womens' guild have been deposited.

Administrative / biographical background

This Society was established in January 1865, and amalgamated with the Bury Society [see GCO] in 1969. The main store was at 5 Green Street, with a branch in Tottington Road and the society also built and rented out properties in Mitchell Street and Co-operative Terrace. There were just under 800 members in the 1920's.
