My parents lived at no 16 a long time ago...unfortunately they are no longer alive, but at the time the next door neighbour (possibly 18) was a Joan...will see if I can find out more (may take time though!)

If you go and look at "Cambridgeshire History On The Net"
there is a picture called haverhill road linton...looks very much like the grip I remember as a child, if it is then 18 would be on the right after the first white cottage.

When Linton was bypassed, the Haverhill Road became a cul-de-sac of sorts and this is now referred to as The Grip - the maps available on multimap do not clearly show this.
If you still don't have an up to date photo of the house I can take one for you
