Former Co-operative stores On either side of Station Road. The older building on the right dates from 1900 and now houses a bar at ground level; the later, to the left, is in fine Art Deco style.

Long Eaton Co-operative Society The redbrick building would have been the society headquarters as well as a store, but the latter was clearly expanded in the 1930s into the fine Art Deco building beyond. Neither building is now in Co-op use, the older one now housing a bar on the ground floor.
