Author Helen Allinson tells the story of the important part that the Sittingbourne Co-operative Society played in the town and surrounding area for over a century. Helen Allinson has searched the society’s own records from its founding by poor working men in 1874 to its merger with the Co-operative Wholesale Society in 1988. This is an important piece of social history because the rise and fall of this co-op in Kent mirrors that of hundreds of other similar societies across England.
