So the Golden Cross was some way 'on the other side of Jerry's Lane' and not actually on Jerry's Lane !

So it would seem. It also looks as if 168 (The Hovel) is further down Jerry's Lane as well

As I see it for the mid 1800s the Golden Cross stood on the junction of the present day Bleak Hill, Perry Common Road, Short Heath Road, and Turfpits Lane. At the time Turfpits ran N but came to a dead end well before Oscott College.
Jerry’s Lane was farther N of this junction and connected Turfpits to Court Lane. ??
