Marks & Spencer lies between Cumberland Street and Green Street which is where the pedestrian walkway comes across from the St. Mary's Car Park to High Street, with Marks & Spencer on the West side. Queen Street is the next street going west. There was a small Robson's Mill between Queen Street and Cumberland Street, but I think that the one your uncle is thinking of is the large Robson's Flour Mill which stood just off Old Chester Road and behind Green Terrace, I have an old photo of it and it towers above the surrounding area.
