#FROMTHE ARCHIVES

The London Co-operative Society (LCS) was formed in 1920 and, by the 1950s, was the largest co-operative society in Europe, achieving its aim of having a shop on every corner. It was a multi-million business operating every kind of retail operation imaginable and a political organisation, sponsoring MPs into Parliament and aligning itself closely with the Co-operative Party. Bishopsgate Institute holds the extensive archive of the LCS covering every aspect of its retail, political and cultural activity and comprising over 3,000 minute books and around 17,000 photos.
