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.
Probably taken when it was converted into flats
Thanks Rubyshoes....great building
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?
i left school and started at coops i think it was 1970
Charlotte, I rememeber a chap named Ian Pedrick as far as I recall his dad was the owner of Coops about 1970-1973
Antony owned the factory changed trade name to Comar family always called first born Anthony
