Where it happened.

I'm using a much later map so that I can get everything into one frame (the area is badly split up on other available maps). Hawes Junction was renamed as Garsdale, and that is shown to the lower left. If you look in the top right corner of the frame you will see the Moorcock Inn – my guess is that he lived in that area, although no such cottages are marked on any map that I have looked at.

Looking on street view there a row of old cottages in a terrace at the site.

Where he lived - Moorcock Cottages

"Sixteen cottages were built by the Midland Railway Company for its employees soon after the opening of the line in 1876. Another six "Moorcock Cottages" were built in similar Victorian style half a mile away over the border in Richmondshire"

In the 1911 census, the enumerator's apparently route:

Moorland Head
Moorland Cottage

then Moorland Moorcock Cottages:
Jeffrey Iveson, platelayer
Edward Wilson, platelayer
Samuel Clark Patrick, porter and signalman
William Fothergill, platelayer
Richard Wilson, platelayer
Simon Fothergill, platelayer

then Moorcock Inn

But it's Moorcock Cottages according to his census return
