The houses of court 6 were strictly speaking not actual back to backs, though they did back onto a factory wall, and so had no back entrance.In effect they were the same as back to backs and might well have been so described. Court 6, with only 3 houses is marked in red. court 10 , in green, were actual back to backs.
