The Antiques Centre has been located in its present home since 1986. The building, opposite the Customs House on what was the Exeter fish quay, has had many uses in the past having been, variously, a customs transit shed, a fish market and a greengrocers store. Since the Antiques Centre opened various internal improvements have gradually been made to realise a relaxed, warm and comfortable enviroment where customers can browse and buy at their own pace.
