Opposite the Swan Inn on the Western side of Abbey St is a car sales place, formerly used as a petrol staton, previously the site of the Wesley Church.

Just perhaps the person who started the original thread doesn't have your inbuilt knowledge of the local area and have a compass in their hand It seemed clear enough to me that the reference to opposite the Swan referred to the old PV tubes building

If we are talking precision where is the Swan Inn? I presume you mean the Swan Hotel however unlike your pompus goodself I will forgive your error
