The co-operative activist George Jacob Holyoake died in 1906 and the Co-operative Movement decided to commemorate him by building a permanent headquarters for the Co-operative Union. The building was erected in 1911 on Hanover Street and named Holyoake House. A plaque Image was erected outside the building dedicating the building to Holyoake's memory. The building is a grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1291969 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1291969 ).
