The Rochdale Pioneers Museum is housed in the building where the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society started trading on 21st December 1844.
The museum is regarded as the birthplace of the modern co-operative movement. It is located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. A plaque was donated to the museum in 2000 and was originally made to commemorate the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society centenary in 1944. The famous wheat sheaf symbol is once again present in the Centre. The wheat sheaf symbol was used by the CWS from its early formation.
The museum includes a recreation of the original shop, containing its rudimentary furniture, scales, items that were sold at the store, etc. Moreover, the museum transmits the influence of the co-operative movement on issues such as women's rights, poverty, education, fair trade and social reform.
