Windows to a new world - advert issued by the Co-operative Group, illustration by Rowland Hilder, 1950
A fine view of the village Co-op store at Wheelton in Lancashire as drawn by Rowland Hilder and seen in this 1950 advert. Parke's paper mill that is mentioned (latterly part of Wiggins Teape) closed in 1967. The Co-op mentioned is I think the Wheelton Prospect and Industrial Co-operative Society, founded in 1866/7 and, by 1887, trading from Bennet Row. The Society ceased trading in 1967 when it transferred its assets to the Bolton Society.
