Yes, the shops at the ends of Cooksey Avenue were Mrs Curley's general store and Tommy Tyers greengrocers.
Also remember the Brueton family and the Nash family.

Sorry for being very late in the day here but I chomped my way through what must have been tons of chips from that chip shop. Do you have any more information or better, a photo or two? I lived at 103.

The actual numbering of back houses is a bit variable. Below I have enlarged the top left of the map so it can be read better. No 16 is in red, and court behind is in blue. However, on the map, the houses on the right of the court have been labeled 1-4 back 14, and the houses on the left hand side of the court it looks like 1-5 back 12. So the house you are looking for is one of the ones in the blue court, but cannot say definitely which one
