The Butt Lane Industrial Co-Operative Society was established in February 1879. The original building dated from 1891 and was enlarged and altered on a number of occasions: in fact a comparison with a 1930s photograph https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=4659&SearchType=2&ThemeID=40 shows that this 1903 structure is merely a fragment of a much larger building which occupied the whole of the corner of Congleton Road and Church Street.
