Co-op Department Store

Co-op Department Store 

Picture
Congress House in Orsett Road 1970's
The old Co-op Department Store at Congress House in Orsett Road had a really good record section think it was on the top floor building now long gone flattened in the late 70s along with Queens hotel to make way for the truly awful Queens gate Centre which has never taken off with the passing of these type of Shops the whole character of the town over the last 40 years has been destroyed I suppose this goes for many oldTowns this is progress I suppose.  Comment: Neil Osborne.

(5 days ago) Tony Orwell said:As far as i can remember it was not in the building pictured, it was in the building behind that ended up being p'Zaz, i bought blondie's autoamerican there for £5.29 in 1980 ish, first and only visit 


(Sept 19, 2014) Alan said:I worked at Congreshouse and the record dep was great. Sadly i have no pics from those early sixties grays.And yes Grays has changed for the worse. I have many fond memorys of dear old grays .
