The wheatsheaf, with the motto ‘labor and wait’, was the first registered trademark of the CWS.
The wheatsheaf is a powerful Co-operative symbol, evoking messages of unity in strength as one stalk of wheat can be easily broken but a whole sheaf has great strength. The American spelling of ‘labor’ is not a typo – it was intended as a statement of support for the anti-slavery North in the US Civil War.
When CWS was founded in 1863, the American Civil War was in progress, and several early CWS founders were active anti-slavery campaigners. Although the ‘cotton famine’ produced by the blockade of Southern ports caused problems for Manchester’s cotton industry, Britain backed the anti-slavery North and the CWS trade mark showed its founders’ support.
By T Waller Marwick, 1937. Former department store, now hotel, bar and restaurant. Modernist former department store. 3-storey curtain wall of glass above ground floor, subdivided by bronze astragals, cantilevered out from grid of concrete members and framed in polished granite.
Important as the principal department store of St Cuthbert's Co-operative Association and the 1937 TW Marwick block has the first glass curtain-wall to be built in Scotland. Designed as the Co-operative's furniture showroom, the building was intended to maximise the light on a narrow, north-facing site, and to draw the eye when illuminated at night. It was originally floodlit from the soffit of the canopy at the gantry rail. Although now altered in places this is still a historically important and stylish building.
Built 1963
Demlished 1978 for rebuilding as Brighton Co-op Supermarket.
This store was sold, became an Alldays, and is now Co-op Upper Shoreham

Today was another eventful day in New Braunfels, Texas, where Monique Rathbun's lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and its leader David Miscavige is back in the Comal County courthouse for another hearing.
On January 8, Scientology's attorneys presented their arguments supporting an 'anti-SLAPP' motion against Monique's lawsuit, accusing her of filing a harassing suit that infringes on the church's free speech rights. After the church turned over new evidence last week, Monique presented her argument against the motion.
