Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

I found this in Graces Guide:

1784 Advert: To be Sold by Auction: ALL that well known compleat ROLLING and SLITTING MILL, called STANLEY MILL, seven Miles from Wigan, with the Warehouses, Dwelling-houses, Gardens, and other necessary Buildings contiguous thereto, situate by Sankey Canal, falls into the River Mersey, communicate by Water with Liverpool, Warrington, and Manchester, with the several Towns adjoining the Staffordshire Canal; said Mills are in the Centre of extensive Manufacturies, in Iron, Cotton, &c.
Coals of excellent Quality, are delivered at the Works, on the same Terms as on board the Flats, in the Canal.
Also all that roomy and convenient Rolling Mill, Smith’s Shop, and extensive Yard adjoining, with a stout and well-built Wheel, full 24 Feet diameter; and a Warehouse Feet 30 by 45 Feet, situate upon Carr Pool, a Piece of Water covering 13 Acres, of 8 Yards to the Perch, from whence it falls 24 Feet; where is also a very compleat and well-accustomed Corn Mill, with Drying Kiln, and other useful Conveniences, several Dwelling-houses, Gardens, &c.
There is a navigable Canal with a Boat open it, from the Works at Carr, to those at Stanley, suitable for conveying Goods betwixt the two Places, distant about Half a Mile.
The whole of the Premises are held under Sir Robert Gerrard, Bart. for 21 Years, from February 2d, 1784, subject to an annual Rent of 57l.
From the great command of Water, the Structure of the Wheels, the extent and conveniency of the Buildings, these Works may at a moderate Expence, be accommodated to any Purposes in the Cotton Manufactory, being in a very populous Neighhourhood.
Mr. Rigby, in Billinge, Mr. John Leech, Ashton, or the Clerk of the Works, will shew the Premises
