Are you now resident here? If not, you can't apply for residencia.
Requirements additional to what you've said:
Passport and copy.
Proof of health cover, either public or private.
You confuse me by saying you're two years from retirement but can show proof of state pension. Have you had an S1 from DWP Newcastle, and then got SIPs here?
EX-18 application form. Right-click and download (can also download a copy in English to help completion):

790 payment form, either from the national police station, or complete online and download:

You'll probably also need an appointment at the police station.
Yes you can do it at Elche.
NOTE FOR JAN:
Hi Jan. I've not been on this forum for long, although I'm a long-time member of the original LM forum. I'm already seeing the same question being asked in various of the sub-forums here. I'd appreciate it if you'd give some though to a separate 'How To' sub-forum, where topics like residencia, NIE, change of driving license, transfer of a vehicle, importance of the correct jurisdiction clause in a Spanish will, etc, etc, could all be covered and easily accessible.
cheers
Jim
