INNERLEITHEN CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1851-1970

Innerleithen was a village that developed with the establishment of woollen mills. The town had the first custom built woolen textile mill in the Scittish borders when Brodie’s Mill, later developed as Caerlee Mill, was built in 1790. This was followed by Dobson’s Mill, later developed as Leithen Mills, in 1846. Waverley Mill was the last large woolen mill, built in 1871. By 2000 only Caerlee Mill was still in production, this closing down in 2013. In addition to industry, Innerleithen developed as a spa town. In the 1820s the Earl of Traquair ordered the construction of St. Ronan’s Wells which, when Walter Scott wrote a novel about it, became a popular tourist destination. The town had a train station by 1864, which closed down in 1962.

The society was formed in 1851 as the Innerleithen Co-operative Store Company. Around 1880 it appears to have changed its name to Innerleithen Co-operative Company and around 1900 to Innerleithen Co-operative Society.

The society took over Walkerburn in 1967, which was struggling with rising costs and reduced trade[1]. The amalgamated society joined Border in 1970.

In December 1937 the society decided to move to the climax system[2].
