Quiggins
Quiggins was an indoor market in Liverpool, home to many small 'alternative' stores that were housed within. It existed at several locations in the city, most familiarly in three linked adjacent warehouse buildings on a site between School Lane, Peters Lane and College Lane in the city centre.
==History==
The business's first location was on Renshaw Street which opened in 1986, where it adopted the name of the long established architectural ironmongers which had formerly owned the premises and whose sign still adorned the shop front.
Originally established as an antiques business, it outgrew the building and in 1988 moved to a larger location on School Lane. With parts of the building rented out to other antique traders, it later diversified into providing space for specialist and alternative stores where many of the stall holders were local artists and craftsmen. There Quiggins soon became a significant part of Liverpool's cultural scene. Next to the Bluecoat Centre and only two blocks from the busiest pedestrian traffic on Merseyside, it was seen as an ideal place to trade and congregate.
It was also the home of "Fraggle Radio", an internet based station streaming rock and punk music founded by Dave Carter, and the popular Brook Café provided a late night venue for live alternative music.
