Distinctive building for the Co-operative Wholesale Society by W.A. Johnson and J.W. Cropper, 1936. Further down the road is its almost-twin sister (Image]). Pevsner says the inspiration is Dutch brick modernism. Of pale-brown brick, with horizontal bands of windows, and a clear affinity with Art Deco in its curves. Service tower on the left. The lettering at the angle is also noteworthy. Grade II listed. On the right is a sliver of the Co-op's New Century House: Image
