Comments: The "Co-Operative Wholesale Society" was established in Crumpsall, near Manchester in 1873. It shows the busy Victorian factory with its tall chimneys emitting great plumes of black smoke and the deliveries being made by horse drawn carts, while the field next door shows cows quietly grazing! This biscuit sample tin promotes their various brands of biscuits and cakes and states "The only 8 hour biscuit works in England".
