Co-op Department Store
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.
