Please can anyone tell me where in Barton Street St Leonards Cottages were?
Is it possible that any photos exist?

By 1916 looks like the numbering of the street had changed

Gloucester Journal 29 January 1916

The cottages were included in the Gloucester City Clearance Orders 1934

Using the address 105/107 Barton Street on modern maps I wonder whether St Leonards Cottages were the two semi detached properties in the middle of the top of this map https://maps.nls.uk/view/120756635#zoom=8&lat=8201&lon=4685&layers=BT
