Leeds Industrial Co-Operative Wholesale Society
Town Street “Co-op”. This photograph was taken in the early 1900’s and was one of many of its type to be built, not only in Bramley, but throughout Leeds and beyond. (It is interesting to note that whilst the L.I.C.S. does not have as many trading shops in 2003, these well-built properties still stand in many areas, although are mainly being used for other designations).
This suburban store would have been one of the largest of its kind and as well as offering a large Grocery department it also had separate Drapery and Butchery shops. |
| The public could apply for, and be issued with, their own personal Share Number. Every purchase total made on production of the individual’s Share Number was then added to their accumulative total. Many families used to save their “Divi” with which to buy other, often quite expensive items for their homes, such as furniture, linens, hardware, and often clothing, etc. etc. The Co-op tended to many needs, i.e. Coal deliveries, Milk deliveries, Undertaker services, Wedding Receptions in the restaurant of their main Albion Street store, and more. |

Bramley Old Hall And Shops
The building was located off Town Street itself. In its day it was an elegant, good quality property. This view was taken after 1903, when tram tracks were first laid on Bramley Town Street.
It is believed to have been the scene of a murder at one time. |
