Drumchapel Community Credit Union was founded in Febuary 1970 and was probably one of the first, if not the first, Credit Union in Scotland. The Credit Union is what is known as a financial cooperative. It has an established "common bond" from which its membership is drawn. Drumchapel Community Credit Unions common bond is defined as the G15 postcode area and, therefore open to anyone living in that locality.
The first credit unions in Ireland were initiated in the 1950s by three people working in Dublin: Nora Herlihy, a National School teacher from Ballydesmond; Sean Forde, an employee at a Dublin bakery; and Séamus P. MacEoin, a civil servant. The economy of the Republic was depressed, urban poverty and emigration were increasing, and the credit union movement was envisaged as a way to help working class people manage their finances. The ILCU was established in 1960.

Not a chain, but I remember Sutherlands toy shop at the corner of Duke Street and Hillfoot Street. Always had cracking dolls prams. And Ethel's for school uniforms.
