Street, Somerset

Could anyone identify where in Street 'Dove Cottages' might be please?  It is on a postcard sent from members of my family in Street to family in Birmingham in 1931.

Can only find a Bove Moor Cottage Street on 1939 index.

According to the 1911 census Dove Cottages were on Grange Road.

I think the houses in the photo are the 8 houses near Farm Llane, which are no longer there. https://goo.gl/maps/S36oQorvMZR2

Thanks a lot for looking Jennifer C and Stanmapstone...  I did wonder about the Farm Lane area as there is a little road called Dove Cots Close.

Again, many thanks

Hello LittleNell44,

Farm Lane still exists in Street, and the cottages (or at least what is left of them) still stand nearby.

Thanks IJDisney...  I did see these cottages on google maps and thought that they looked similar although somewhat extended.

Hello LittleNell44,

You can see on this side by side that four of the eight houses are still there

Thanks for sharing the postcard and I was interested to read they were Dove Cottages. I drive past them often and Dove Cots Close driving to the Recycling Centre. Interesting to read a bit of local history.
