Kelly's Directory 1976 Nos 190 to 194 Disco (Oxford & District Co-operative Society Ltd). The upstairs was also used for gigs and dances
 
== 1907 ==
"The building was designed by Henry Wilkinson Moore and has a long frontage preserving its Edwardian redbrick character above ground floor level, including surviving stone architectural detailing to the façade. The hall above the ground floor shopping arcade provided the venue for concerts and dances that formed an important element of the neighbourhood’s social life and, subsequently has been a venue for the more successful bands that emerged in Oxford in the later 20th century. It has also provided the venue for many political meetings, often forming the starting point for rallies and protests that continued outside the building. The combination of shops developed as a mutual&nbsp;enterprise and the meeting and entertainment space above is interesting as a combination that was a part of the social mission of its builders."<ref>https://www.oxford.gov.uk/downloads/file/1552/former_co-operative_hall_nos_190-194_cowley_road_o2_academy</ref>
