Silverdale
Equitable Industrial Co-operative Society was founded on March 11th
1861. A group of men from the village of Silverdale near Newcastle
- Under - Lyme joined together to form their own co-operative society
along the lines of the model created by the Rochdale Pioneers some
17 years earlier.
This
site uses orginal materials to outline the background to the society
as well as provide some insight into how co-operative societies
were formed and run.
In
1981 the society merged with the other large potteries society,
the North Modlands Co-operative Society.
