A change of address This is number 24 Burcott Road, but look carefully and you will note the number 1 on the door lintel. Clearly there has been a change of numbering at some point, as can be seen on other houses in the area - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4066327">ST5445 : A different set of numbers</a>.

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.
