Old co-op store

This evening after work just time for a quick blip , so i took a quick walk up the road to take a few shots of the old co-op store which closed down years ago and was turned into flats . My Mum used to work here before she was married .

Lincolnshire Co-operative was founded as 'Lincoln Co-operative Society' in 1861, inspired by Gainsborough joiner Thomas Parker.

Trading began at 1 Napoleon Place, Lincoln, in September 1861. By the end of the first quarter, there were 74 members and the dividend was 9d. Now there are around 230,000 members and £4.2m was paid to them in dividend and bonuses in 2012/13.

We now have a new co-op store which i blip as part of a converted church.

In other news im out tonight for a couple of beers and a catch up with a mate who ive not seen for about 15 years apart from the other month at my dads funeral , not to many beers as ive got work in the morning :(
