Scroll up a bit for a pic of The Gables.
Here's a recent photo showing where The Gables was.
The YMCA is on the right.
Holy Trinity Church is across the road.
The Gables was close to Union Street and the then Bob Martin factory. I was a member of both the Southport Amateurs AFC and Embassy Clubs for a number of years - the Amateurs were based in the front ground floor section of the building and Annie Greenhalgh's Embassy Club occupied the rear section.
