Despite varied architectural styles, former Co-op stores are often immediately identifiable as such. The panel over the entrance carries the beehive and wheatsheaf emblems of the local Society, with the motto Industry and Thrift. The tower of Falcon Mill behind is a reminder of the source of earlier local economic activity.
