A military store, post office and old Co-op shop are recreated at the Black Country Living Museum.
The three stores represent different parts of the Black Country and preserve their memories, the museum saidThe three stores replicate a well-known military surplus shop run by a former German prisoner of war in Stourbridge, a post office in Penn, Wolverhampton and a Halesowen and Hasbury Co-op.
Steve Langer, whose father Herbert ran Langer’s Army & Navy Stores, said he would have been very emotional to know his passion project had been recreated.'Like coming home' Visitors can find out more about it and why it diversified to be more than a post office, stocking toys, models and greeting cards, the museum said.It contains reproduced packaging displaying Co-op’s branding, including "nourishing, appetising and easily digested" cornflakes and puppy biscuits that are "invaluable as a staple diet for the small dog".
