Brian, where did you get this photo from, I have never seen it before, the lady on the right is my Auntie Ada (Delaney)She worked at Coops from the age of 13, I love it, I just couldn't believe it when I saw her, she always looked the same. Her daughter, my cousin is still alive at 80 and now lives in Darby. Thanks a lot

The man on the left in the background is my father Anthony James Marsden. He was the boss of Coops, from about 1953, when his father died and following the death of his great uncle Syndey James Marsden, until the 1970, when the business was sold to Dunn & Co.
