Quiggins
Quiggins was an indoor market within Liverpool city centre. The market, which was home to many small 'alternative' stores, was located in adjacent three warehouse buildings on a site between School Lane, Peters Lane and College Lane. The main entrance was through the 1866 Palatine Building. Although Quiggins markets existed at several locations within Liverpool, these premises were the most well known in the city. The market closed in 2006 in order to be redeveloped as part of a massive development of Liverpool City Centre by the Grosvenor Group. 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 la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Edmund Crosby Quiggin (23 August 1875 – 4 January 1920) was a British linguist and scholar. Born in Cheadle, Staffordshire, he was educated at Kingswood School in Bath. In 1893 he matriculated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, to read Modern and Medieval Languages. He graduated with first-class honours. The fellows of Caius included the lawyer and legal historian Charles Henry Monro, who spoke Irish and encouraged Quiggin to study in this area. In October 1898, Quiggin was appointed English Lector at the University of Greifswald, where he completed his doctorate, ''Die lautliche Geltung der vortonigen Wörter und Silben in der Book of Leinster Version der Tain bo Cualnge'' ('The phonetic quality of pre-stress words and syllables in the Book of Leinster version of the ''Táin Bó Cúailnge'' ').

Quiggin's
Quiggin's is a confectionery producer, and the oldest surviving manufacturer of Kendal Mint Cake. It is also one of only three manufacturers of this confection, the others being Romney's and Wilson's. History The "Quiggin's Confectionery Company" was founded in 1840 on the Isle of Man by William Quiggin, and sold confections such as coconut ice and bullseyes. In 1847, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited Ramsey, and were greeted by William Quiggin, whose daughter presented Albert with a stick of rock with the words "Welcome Prince Albert to Mona" along with the Manx triskelion throughout its centre, and is regarded by some as the first lettered rock. In 1872 Daniel, William's son, moved to Kendal and began his own confectionery company, the company today known as Quiggin's. Manufacture of Kendal Mint Cake began soon after (although the product was invented by Wiper's in 1869). In 1975 Quiggin's became the first to cover their mint cake in chocolate, and the same year, Sir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alison Hingston Quiggin (1874—1971) was a British anthropologist at the University of Cambridge and the author of the much reprinted ''A Survey of Primitive Money: The Beginnings of Currency'' (London, 1949). Education and career Hingston studied at Newnham College, Cambridge, from 1899 to 1902. This school was founded in 1870, which was just 29 years before she attended.

Personal life As a student she founded the secret Leaving Sunday Dinner Society (LSDS), members of which would on Sunday evenings cook for one another in a rented room off the college grounds, where they could smoke and otherwise ignore college rules. Of the idea that young women at the university were there to find husbands, she later said "We didn't take much interest in the men and they were certainly terrified of us."Alison Quiggin, "Students May Ride the Bicycle", in ''A Newnham Anthology'', edited by Ann Phillips (C ...
