West Quay Records is an independent vinyl shop on West Quay in Bridgwater, stocking new and second-hand records across genres from soul and rock to current chart releases, along with turntables, cleaning products and sleeves for collectors. The shop has built a loyal local following for its browsing atmosphere, encouraging customers to spend time working through the racks rather than shopping quickly. It won the Music and Records category at the town's 2026 Independent Shop Awards, run by the local MP to recognise Bridgwater's independent traders. The stock mixes secondhand collections bought in from local sellers with new releases and reissues. It sits within Bridgwater's town centre shopping streets rather than an out-of-town retail park, drawing trade from collectors across Somerset as well as passing shoppers.
