bboyminn:

Sorry Geoff, but I think you are looking a little too deep. 

Everyone quickly found Spinners End (never seen with an apostrophe) in
 the industrial park, but the fact that it is vaguely near Dursley
doesn't mean much. 

On the other hand, I found Spinners End very near Bristol and Bristol
does have significants in the books. In fact, Bristol surrounds one of
the main sub-mysteries of the books; where was Harry coming from the
night Hagrid delivered him to the Dursleys that required a flight
near/over Bristol?

So, there COULD be a connection between Spinners End and Bristol, but
it's extremely unlikely there is any connection between Spinners End
and Dursley (the town). 

In addition, if you read my whole post, and I'm sure you did, you
would have seen that other than pointing out the connection between
Spinners End and Bristol which is Hargid's flight, I'm more incline to
think there is no connection between JKR's Spinners End and the real
world which means the real world location of Spinners End is not
significant to the books. 

So, in conclusion, a connection can be made between Spinner End,
Bristol, and the Books and, so far, is the only connection that can be
made at all unless you willing to stretch it to a connection between
spinners and spiders which is a very long stretch.

Not finding relevant, just searching for it.
