,An image of the Co-op hall and shops [https://www.oxforduniversityimages.com/results.asp?image=OHC002567-01 can be seen here.]
During the Second World War the hall was used as a Sick Bay. It was staffed by auxiliary Red Cross nurses, and provided care for evacuee children from London who were too unwell to stay with the families in Oxford that they had been billeted on. It also looked after a few Oxford children who had been taken into care by the City Council.
Conveniently, one of the shops at ground level was a Co-op pharnacy.
