Summary

[edit]
Description

Prior to 1844 the building at 31 Toad Lane, Rochdale, Lancashire was a warehouse but the Pioneers needed premises from which to trade and obtained a three year lease for the ground floor for a rent of £10 per year.

As money for refitting the premises as a shop were limited, the counter was made of wooden planks resting on large barrels and the bench for shoppers to sit on whilst waiting to be served were more planks set on smaller barrels.

The 'store', as the Co-operative was affectionately know as in the Rochdale area until the late 1900's, first opened for business on 21st December 1844, initially for two nights per week, selling four key items; sugar, flour, oatmeal and candles.
