History
In 1872, the Co-operative Bank was established, initially as the CWS Loan and Deposit Department, registered as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of CWS in 1971. By a couple of years later, CWS entered manufacturing and later became substantially involved in importing, ship owning and in many overseas ventures, including joint CWS/SCWS tea estates. This building dates back to 1928, comprising of a Grade II listed building of sandstone construction over six floors, that was the home to Co-operative businesses for over 100 years. Since closure, it has been used as different exhibition centres and art studios, and is now set to align with a modern development beside it.
