Judging by the map, I'm afraid Phil's picture is looking the other way down the street, away from the area you are interested in. It was a little complicated. It looks like there was some renovation/rebuilding of thre terraces before WW1, there is nothing named Waterloo on the c1889 map, but by the 1920 electoral roll there is a Waterloo Terrace (not listed as "place"). In 1889 it seems to have been called Brough's Buildings. anyway I have marked it in red on the map, and presumably the numbering went from 1 nearest the road.No 13 is one of the two houses marked in blue. You may jut be able to see that two blocks away there is a terrace called Broughs Terrace. In 1889 it was named william's buildings
