Robinsons Terrace was located by the side of the Travellers Rest pub, just off Chapel Street. It was still there until the 1980s when it was condemned. One of my great Grandfathers was born there in the late 1870s.

Robinson and Parker terrace rows were narrow rows of houses running at 90' degree  or adjacent to Chapel St - in relationship the old Travellers inn to todays Traveller Inn

The white painted upstairs row of 4 windows (from the back end of the white painted narrow houses row) in link could be remnants of the old Robinson Terrace row in link below

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

No, those windows in the white wall belong to the cottage and workshop of the local wheelwright, Mr Crapper. I'm a lady who was brought up and lived in the village for half my life.

Hi Keswick

What made me think the white buildings or Mr Crapper'S COTTAGE AND WORKSHOP was a rebuild using remnants  of the old Robbinsons cottages was the gable end row of house opposte by the white car and line up with the right angled white cottage ( see snippets)
