My gmother, Louisa Hilda Jupp, nee Harding, lived at No 1 Bourne Yard Cottages, Whyteleafe, Surrey, c1914. Could anyone tell me where, in Whyteleafe, Bourne Yard Cottages would have been

If you put Whyteleafe into a search engine you will find details of location

It looks a good possibility, even the buildings look like they could be converted cottages

The enumerator's walk (1911 Census) runs "Whyteleafe Tavern, Villge Hall, Railway Station, Railway Cottages, Bourne House, Bourne Croft, Bourne Yard, St Luke's Rd......"

[Peterhastie]

The aforementioned industrial units are backed up against the railway, so its looking like it could be them

May/June 1899 "Bourne Croft, Whyteleafe Hill" and "Bourne House, the adjoining capital house", were advertised for sale and the advert included
"Bourne yard - approached by an 11 foot carriageway and comprising stables, for 14 horses, cart sheds, harness room, large loft, straw shed, cow stalls for 2 and about an acre of land adjoining the railway line...."

"Whyteleafe Tavern" named. "St Luke's Road" not named - it's "33   464" on the map.

Is "Bourne Yard" the area that contains "Whyteleafe? Looks like "stabling for 14 horses" alongside the pub?

No. Bourne Yard is west of the western railway line and south of Whyteleafe Hill. It's roughly where it says 41 576 on the map you refer to.
