Thank you, but Beacon House was too easy.
I worked for Southport Co-Op for a few years in the early 1960s, and Beacon House was their H/O.

BTW, I think that the Co-Ops across the country went in for interesting architecture.
In Liverpool, for instance, they built places like Holyoake Hall in Smithdown Road (still there, & one of my fave Liverpool buildings).
Walton Road (demolished).
London Road is a great building, & I've tried to find out exactly who it was built for. My research at the moment is leaning towards Rubin's (drapers), who were at the site in 1937 (which is the date Joseph Sharples gives for the building).
