There are Valley Cottages described as near Harrogate Road in Moor Allerton.

If you have access to Ancestry, then you can find the location.  Find your ancestor, then go back to image 1 which will give you the enumerator's walk.

I can't send it to you, because this is a look up board and attachments are not allowed.

That would make sense, and why I think it may be about agricultural residency. There would be little else between Alwoodley and Harewood, on the Harrogate road.

The 1901 census enumerator's description refers to "The Valley Cottages, Moortown Bottoms". There are six households recorded with this address (including the Gilchrists). Although the cottages aren't named on the linked OS map, I think that these are the best candidates:

Added:They seem to disappear after the 1921 edition. Here they are side-by-side view with a modern map.

Brilliant, I will have to see what it shows on the 1901 census. I know by 1905 the Gilchrist's are living in Chapeltown. Once again thank you all for your valued input.

Sorry, back again. Can you advise where Ivory Street, Hunslet is/was Think the period was around the 1860's.

Ivory Street still exists in the Pottery Field district of Hunslet. You can easily see where it is on a map.
Just north of the A61 and to the west of Hunslet Road. And south of the Crown Point Shopping Park.

Here's a photo of it in 1901. https://www.bridgemanimages.com/en-US/english-photographer/children-in-ivory-street-hunslet-leeds-december-1901-b-w-photo/black-and-white-photograph/asset/218016
