SummaryInterview by Christine Miller in 1989 with Esme Allan about the Newcastle and suburban Co-Operative Society. After an 83 year lifespan, The Store closed its doors to
shoppers on 10th April, 1981. At its peak it dominated the local retail trade. It's correct title was The Newcastle and Suburban Co-operative Society Limited, but due to its
importance in the Newcastle area, became affectionately known as "The Store".

The Margaret Henry Oral History Archive is a collection of audio tapes, transcripts, summaries and essays that were part of the Oral Histories Open Foundation Course (1986-1989). Margaret Henry was a history lecturer at the UON in the 1980s.

The oral history tapes have been digitised by Special Collections, UON Library and made freely available to the wider global research community thanks to the generosity of The Vera Deacon Regional History Fund.

The wider collection of Margaret Henry Oral History Archive – over 220 in total and with many stories of Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and its surrounds and records voices describing the Regions cultural, intellectual and social life. It is an incredible legacy to Margaret Henry.
