I have lived in Merseyside for two years now and finally visited Gostins for the first time yesterday. It’s fabulous! What a great little smattering of shops including collectables and antiques, handmade jewellery, home-made cakes, Wicca and goth, used books, and so much more. Probably my favourite shop in here is Collage which offers a really delightful selection of antiques and collectables at great prices. I also really like Mookow Army and Bluecoat Books. Some of the shops are not open during all regular business hours so you may find a few closed when you pop in but keep coming back to visit the various ones you missed before. I know that’s my plan!

Where Grand Central features many of the refugees from Quiggins, Gostins houses a large number of outcasts from when the Palace decided to toss out all its stalls in favour of late night bars. However, whereas Grand Central has settled in like a divorcee on your sofa, Gostins has suffered from both being slightly out of the way and the temporary feel of its accommodation. Gostins is still worth a visit though, especially for the book shop that used to be in the Bluecoat(another outcast) and Route 69 hairdressers.
