Horse & Rider - equestrian products, is the former Sheffield & Ecclesall Co-op. It was one of those Co-ops that had a cash office at the far end of the shop. The shop assistant would put your money in a metal container, pull a rope and the container would run along a wire to the cash office. Seconds later your change came back along the wire and the shop assistant would retrieve it and give it to you. You could join the Co-op and get dividend points. When the points were worth a fair amount you could cash them in for money off your purchases. Everyone who joined was given a unique number. My mother's was 72829.
