Apsey Brook Buying Club

The Apsey Brook Buying Club was a co-operative store in Apsey Brook that ran from the 1940s till the 1970s. Families took turns operating the store, with a small building, pictured, being moved around when operators changed. Oral history has it that when May Smith ran it however, it was done from a large front room in her house.

The store stocked such items as canned goods, confectionary, frozen meats, cheese and of course, salt beef.
