EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic and iconic building of The Original Co-op in Rochdale, Lancashire, where on December 21st, 1844, the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society commenced trading. This pivotal moment marked the launch of the worldwide Co-operative movement, a groundbreaking initiative that would transform the economic landscape and social fabric of communities for generations to come. The image, taken in the 1970s, showcases the building's distinctive architecture and the advertising hoarding that proudly displays the slogan "Delicious Tea, Oct18." The restoration of this historic site was completed in time for a visit from HRH Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy on May 13th, 1981. The Co-op, which began as a small society dedicated to providing affordable essentials to its members, has since grown into a global movement that continues to prioritize fairness, equality, and community engagement. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of The Original Co-op and its significant role in the annals of cooperative history.
