Motherwell Co-operatives
DALZIEL CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1860-1981
Scotland Malleable Steel Co, started a malleable iron works in Motherwell in 1849. It closed down in 1851 but in 1853 was reopened by the Glasgow Iron Company.The manger Thomas Morton improved the refining and puddling of iron. Dalziel Co-operative Society was started by Glasgow Iron Company employees in 1860 and was named after the parish. The society registered in 1863.
In 1877 Dalziel absorbed the co-operative society started by railway workers in Mothwerwell, which became it's No. 1 branch [1]. By 1939 the society had 16 branches. It's expansion into Bellshill, which began around 1925, resulted in Bellshill & Mossend taking Dalziel to arbitration at the Co-opertiave Union over Dalziel trading in Bellshill[2]. The arbitrators decided in Bellshill's favour,calling on Dalziel to cease trading in Bellshill from fixed pemises or mobile shops/vans. Dalziel left the Co-operative Union in 1957 and continued to trade in Bellshill. Bellshill & Mossend took Dalziel to court, stating that Dalziel had breached the arbitrators' ruling. The High Court appeal in February 1960 confirmed that Dalziel was only bound to the arbitrators ruling as long as it was a member of the Co-operative Union, o was now free to trade as it wished. Costs were awarded against Bellshill & Mossend.
The society united with St Cuthbert in 1981 to form Scottish Midland, now known as ScotMid
