Hi :)
The 1858 Town Plan on the old map site shows them to be on the corner of Lower East Street and Cleveland Street.

Thanks for that gnu, That makes them very close to the Cross Keys pub that used to be there, I can remember the pub but not the cottages.
The 1911 census has my grandmother living there.

Beaten to it!
My 1853 map shows Cleveland Cottages exactly where Gnu said, but interestingly, also, a little further down Lower East Street there is a single building surrounded by a garden that is called Cleveland Cottage. Looks to be a much grander dwelling. It's not there on my 1913 map.

Thanks for that Whipby, I am inclined to cottages on the corner of Lower East St. and Cleveland St. My grandmother didn't have the means to live in a grander house with a garden, certainly not until the 1930s.
Thanks again to both of you
