About Shaw
- The Shaw & Crompton area was the birthplace of the co-operative movement in the cotton industry. Local mill workers in the 19th century formed some of the earliest worker-owned enterprises in Britain, pooling their savings to build and operate mills collectively. This tradition of co-operative enterprise directly influenced the Rochdale Pioneers, who founded the modern co-operative movement in 1844 just a few miles away.
