I have attached a screenshot from an 1851 census. The left hand column shows the number of the location. The next column is 'Price Street', and the right hand column is my ancestor, Abraham Brain. However, I cannot make out the number of the house or court. Can anyone else?

Thanks.

just had a look at the whole page as we maybe able to work it out better from the other numbers in the street but the writing is shocking..maybe others will do better

It looked individually like 5h, which I would normally take to mean house 5 in a court. BUT if you look at the page a sa whole the one before is no 55 Price Sttreet, and the two after are 57 and 58. so it must be 56
