Decorative panels, Co-op House
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 22 Jun 2007
These panels are set above the main entrance to what use to be the Co-op Department Store on Upper Parliament Street. Changes in the pattern of retailing in the City centre meant that this store became relatively stranded from the main retail core, and the business was closed down. The building now houses a casino, which does not fit well with the scenes of working people portrayed on the panels.
