Looking at the 1910 map it is easy to see whyhttp://tinyurl.com/bpz5hpa Perhaps it wasnt buit til between 1901 census and 1910 as its missing from the 1891 OS map altogether

Your map certainly shows a dividing party wall???

Taken a bit further back I think the shed is six foot by four it might give you a better idea of size.

Whenever I pass on the bus this house with the union flag outside intrigues me,surely that can't be one dwellinghttp://goo.gl/maps/7HYlb

This one has to be a contender.http://goo.gl/maps/uzZfbIts the house that is white, square and the roof slants from top left to bottom right. A fried of mine lived in one of the houses to the north on valley terrace and there was a really old chap living in this house. Mr Birch I believe his name was. You cant see it from the road so it is a bit of a hidden one....
