OWN MAKE
This wool flannel shirt was made by the Co-operative Wholesale Society (C.W.S). It was produced at the shirt factory in Pelaw, Gateshead. In the late 1800s co-operative societies appeared in industrial towns across the North of England. The C.W.S was set up as a consumer owned business with the basic principal of giving its members and customers the benefit of fair priced consumer goods. In Newcastle and Gateshead the C.W.S had shops, warehouses, and factories which produced and sold a variety of goods.
