More than abare stub but lkacking great detail and an info box - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 17:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Certainly our local S&E grocery stores became Yorkshire Co-op and of the city centre department stores, S&E became Sunwin House, while the B&C's became SCS. Or was it more complex than that? 84.70.34.102 ( talk) 16:59, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Try Sheffield city library or National Co-operative Archive in Manchester (call before travelling).
