Adjacent to the South End Mills which are a few hundred yards  to the right of this shot and St Gabriel's church which forms the left hand edge of the picture.

The terrace is set above the actual roadway, at  the higher ground level of all of the land to the right. The level of the road indicates the ground level to the left of the picture.

Note the iron plates in the end wall of the terrace, these are attached to metal rods which penetrate the buildings.  The rods were heated and allowed to expand, when hot, the plates were screwed on and tightened. As the rods cooled they contracted, pulling in the brickwork and preventing it from bulging outwards.
