    Fantastic videos Mr Cherry, brings back a lot of memories from when I was a kid, my mother had a Coop divi, but she hasn't got anymore. I am from Worsbrough Bridge, "Park View", live in North Sheffield, not too far from Barnsley. Hope there are more videos to come.

    I used to go to Ward Green Co-op for my Auntie's groceries every Saturday morning in about '61-'62 and I'm sure I was usually served by Linda. We always used the shops in Worsborough Bridge as my mother was from George Street. I was in your class at Ward Green when I was John.🙂

    Another wonderful video Dave, so many memories, I vaguely remember when Coop drapery was on Wellington Street back in the 80's. Also what I call Coop, Leo's, Pioneer, Market Fresh up where Quality Save is now, just a bit too young to remember it's hayday. I passed you in Worsbrough other day lol, I was on my mobility scooter with my little dog.

    Blimey, I remember the Ward Green Co-op...we lived on the "Dunks's" and I went to Ward Green Primary. This is grand stuff, thanks so much and keep it going.

      My brother used to live at Ward Green, I remember that big white pub opposite the Coop, can't remember what it was called, was only 7 or 8 in 72.

      The pub was "The Manor" (or Manor House), my dad used to go there after the pigeon races on Saturdays to find out the results of the day's race.@@dukeofengland

    Yes the CO-OP number was etched in our brain. Ours was 102763 Our local co-op was up Darfield Road. They were the days to remember, also seeing the Co-op milkman pulling his cart full of milk, it must have killed him.
    Lovely Video again. I suppose you could do one of Parkie who was a Darfield Roader. God bless him.
