My first job was at Coops. I have some fond memories of the place.

Can anyone give more info on this pic, what? where? when?

It was a sewing factory that produced men's suits. It's in Dorning St, near Stilletos but when the photo was taken I have no idea.

I am very interested in this building as my father was Mr. Anthony Marsden. He was the factory owner as it was left to him by his father. Does any-one remember my father Anthony James Marsden? I would love to know if any-one can recall him?
