Pretty sure the shop/offices was roughly where the bus stop is now just outside the bus depot. Where Tesco stands was the other half of Quiggins I can't find a photo, but I think I was right. On going into Quiggins you had to bear left and go under the archway. If you went straight on you went into what is now the bus yard. Their side loading forklift used to have to come out from their yard into that yard to unload some trailers Pretty sure Quiggins site was not split for the intended COOP, CWS, now Tesco building and carpark. You're not getting mixed up with Quggins being on one side of Lake Rd and DSSM on the other, are you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
