LARBERT CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1882-1921
The society was formed in 1882. In 1908 discussions took place regarding amalgamation between the Larbert and Stenhousemuir[1]. The amalgamation did not proceed. The society then resumed it's proposals to open a branch in Buchanan Place, Stenhousemuir. This was agreed by a small majority, with the minority stating that the society only had powers to trade in Larbert. Given the number of objectors it was decided to revisit the decision. The branch was approved in 1909 without opposition[2]
This society, Camelon, Bainsford & Grahamston Co-operative Baking and Grahamston & Bainsford agreed to amalgamate, forming Falkirk and District in 1921.
