Speedwell Road

I was hoping you could help me I have a cottage on the top end of speedwell road next to roegate house and it seems it was built in 1833 and was one of the crofts end farm workers cottages on Churchill lane there was originally two dwellings originally so I understand Another 8 cottages were built on the side to form the terrace row (this is clear from the different stone work) some half a century later. I'm sure there must be some old pictures of the cottages just as the pair I am intrigued to find out more I wondered if you could shed some light on this for me I heard a family of nine lived in the two cottages at one point and there is a bricked up arch joining the two cottages which I must add have different roof lines so perhaps these were built separately as well?
