The old Co-op building stands right on the crossroads of New Line (A657) and Harrogate Road (A658). Built in 1931 it had beautiful tiled pictures of cows and sheep, etc. under the windows but these have now been painted over by the firm that now occupies it. This beehive mosaic is all that remains of the Co-op's decorative scheme.
