A different set of numbers
Look closely and you will notice the numbers carved into the lintels are 5 and 6 - not the ones on the actual doors. Clearly the original numbering of Victoria Terrace (in Burcott Road) of 1888 has been changed. The area dates from around the turn of the nineteenth century when there was an isolation hospital just along the road.

Keward Brook
The modern houses are a very recent addition. In the pre-war period the brook ran to Keward House and Mill, of which the latter is now replaced by a small industrial park. However, in the more distant past this spot held a much more serious significance. See Image
