It wasn't closed down by trading stadards officers though, they're as surprised as anyone on the interview on the radio.

Wouldn't surprise me. Wonder if i can find the pirates to flog them blank discs?
I doubt it. Kitgrove could probably kick them out whenever they like. I don't they're in a rush to start work on the Tobacco Warehouse anyway.
So, yet another case of a minority spoiling it for everyone else. I expect a lot of the stall owners were relying on the extra income to support mortgages, etc.
hardly think you can say its the minority yes minority of stalls selling fake goods but it is the majority of customers that are buying knowingly that the goods are fake and all so traders aren't soft they no who supplies most of the fake goods anyway they could put a stop to it if they wanted to but there to afraid of the consequences iam speaking as an ex market trader

Well, the consequences now are that the market is closed, although I expect a lot of the traders will go to other markets.
The only good thing I liked about going to that market was the fact that I was in such an amazing historic building. Hated the way they tried to liken it to London's Camden Market though...
The Market owners only had to take a snoop around to see who was selling fake goods and inform the Trading standards and hey presto, job done, the legit traders could then get on with trading. It seems the TS are miffed that they didn't get that co-operation and they had to find these things out for themselves with raids. The TS said they'd noticed a trail off of customers since the previous raids, implying that a lot only went their for the 'blag' bargains.
LIVERPOOL’S historic Stanley Dock market will be open for business on Sunday after operators won an injunction to remove security guards from the site. Read
Which one Is Stanley Dock?
Too many names for the docks!
Gididi Gididi Goo.
Haven't you been there yet Max, it's the Heritage market between the Goat and the Bull pubs on Great Howard Street.
Here it is Max, the old Stanley Dock tobacco warehouse. The biggest brick built building in Europe, possible the world, still standing.
That article says security have been evicted. I take it that means a security firm brought in when the market closed? The place has always had 24hour guards anyway. Surely they can't run the market with no security guards at all, that would be stupid!
MANAGERS at Liverpool’s Stanley Dock are encouraging artists, thespians and shoppers to converge on the historic site to keep it alive, and they want to turn the space into an alternative destination for Capital of Culture year. Read
Packing up time.
Either they've forgotten to take it down or advertising it 11 months in advance. This is the Regent Road (Dock Road) end of the Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse Sunday Heritage Market.
St. George's Hall can easily fit inside the mass of this Grade II listed building.
Bridges link two of the buildings, here, looking West towards the River, they have been brightly painted.
And here, in the opposite direction.
The Dock offices, dating from 1900.
The idea is for the atmospheric feel of a Portobello Road or Camden, London market stall area.
