Holyoake House

The red brick building stands at the intersection of Dantzic Street, featuring early 20th-century architectural details and decorative stonework across its symmetrical facade.

Built in 1911 under architect Francis Eldred Lodge Harris, the structure sustained damage during the Manchester Blitz of 1940 when its top floor training center was destroyed.

The National Co-operative Archive within the building houses an extensive collection of letters, papers, and writings documenting the history of cooperative movements.

The building functions as headquarters for multiple organizations, including Co-operatives UK, the Co-operative College, and the Association of British Credit Unions.

The structure received its Grade II listed status on June 20, 1988, recognizing its architectural merit and connection to British commercial development.
