    The 'Sevendale' brand was still around in the Sixties: did Coopers go out of business altogether or did they 'merge' out of existence ?

    Hi, my mother worked for 4 years as the catering manageress of the canteen and directors’ dining room at this company in 1955. I have a couple of stories she told me about working there.

    I worked a summer job here in the very early 1960's in the ladies lingerie department taking and making up orders from the owners of little shops in the Manchester area, I remember Mabel Royle from Davenport. I handled enough Twilfit bras to last a lifetime. The place was in uproar when Jess Conrad visited Dale Square, with more than one item of stock being waved at him from Cooper's windows. Much better work for a lad than injecting jelly into Walls pork pies at Godley! Happy days
