St.Pauls is a church. It's on St.Pauls Avenue.
Buer Avenue is off St.Pauls Avenue, turn right off Warrington Road, then first right before the church.
The gym was in Buer Avenue.

You could've turned left off Warrington Road if you was coming from the Wigan direction.
Or off Poolstock Lane.

Knew Andy. Went there a couple of times. Not to train there, though.

It was indeed a small factory around the seventies called Cotton Goods.
