Synopsis
Excerpt from History: Of the Stocksbridge Band of Hope Industrial Co-Operative Society Limited, 1860-1910
On reflection, however, I came to feel that a duty was laid upon me to help in doing honour to those humble men who, fifty years ago, set in motion such a beneficent force as co-operation has proved to be in our midst, and at much inconvenience to myself I finally acceded to their request. The result has been that, as the facts have crystallized around various epochs, I have realized the sterling Worth of some of these rugged personalities, and am thankful to have been the instrument in rescuing their names and labours from the oblivion which broods alike o'er costly marble and grass-grown mound.
