SD8700 : Former Co-operative Department Store, Newton Heath
near to Harpurhey, Manchester, Great Britain

Former Co-operative Department Store, Newton Heath
Until the 1960s, this building was a major Co-op retail store, worth my mother travelling a couple of miles to visit for "outfits". I mainly remember being fascinated by the manually operated lifts, complete with brown-coated attendant. The store was killed by more modern supermarkets and now caters for more basic tastes, judging by the posters.
