Our Heritage

These pages contain an archive of records, newsletters and photographs from that history.  

You can delve into the timeline records of preceding societies that have grown and merged together to create The Midcounties Co-operative.

Or, if you just want to walk down memory lane, take a look through our photo gallery which has a range of pictures from across the years. 

The Society has also put a number of its archive material into local history centres for people to enjoy and read. 

You can view these using the reference numbers and links below;

Oxford Co-operative and Chipping Norton Co-operative deposits - go to “search archives and local studies.. ” and use reference number 6360 (Oxford archives) or B36 (Chipping Norton archives) in the search engine https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/content/catalogues-oxfordshire-history-centre
