Celebrating Stirchley’s Co-op: TASCOS at 150!
On 5th June 1875, the Ten Acres & Stirchley Co-operative Society opened their first shop on Hazelwell Street, a few doors up from where Stirchley Baths now stands.
150 years later you can join Birmingham Co-operative History Group to raise a glass to those co-operative pioneers and enjoy a slide show telling the fascinating story of TASCOS and the part it played in creating the Stirchley we know today.
The event takes place at the Stirchley Baths on Thursday 5th June from 7-9pm, is free of charge and everyone is welcome.
