Normanby Co-operative Society Store 1964

Closed 30th January 2016

Our Co-op has been an integral part of Normanby life since 1930s - the original shop is shown here
- eventually replaced by the modern supermarket.
The trams used to turn in front of the store.
Very sadly its doors have closed after some 80 years.
Many Normanby folk will miss this store, especially elderly people who find it difficult to walk very far
and those who don't drive - it is a huge loss for Normanby.
There are rumours about what will happen to the Co-op site:
an Iceland store or a pub or even cleared by the Council to make way for a new road layout - but no-one knows.
We hope all the Co-op staff manage to get work elsewhere and we wish them all the very best for the future.
