An upload has just been made by myself for Marwood Road, Carlton NG4, UK and it has four houses in a row (2 sets of semi-detached) that are each numbered ‘1’ (and two next-door to them that are each numbered ‘375’), and yet they are all correctly numbered. What is going on?

Now yes, I’m being a little bit naughty in my description, because two of those houses are numbered ‘1a’ and ‘1b’, but the other two are each “1 Marwood” and are part of the same semi-detached house. In fact, whilst surveying it was worse, because whilst these four houses are obviously near the beginning of the street there were two houses before them, one of which was positioned on Cavendish Road, but the bungalow was clearly positioned on Marwood Road. That bungalow was residential & occupied (though the owners were out) and no-one else on the street knew what it’s number was - and neither did it display one. Truly, this was a street designed to give taxi-drivers a nervous breakdown.

This is the street: Marwood Road, Carlton NG4; the houses concerned are at the eastern end, on the south-side of the street. ‘1a’ and ‘1b’ are part of a semi-detached house that is too new (as is the bungalow) to be shown on the current Google satellite view, although Bing does show them (it is normally the other way around) (Bing metadata capture date of “10/1/2011-3/26/2012”). West of [‘1a’, ‘1b’] is [1, 1]. The first house is 1 Marwood Road, and the second is 1 Marwood Crescent. Gaah!

I decided that to answer the mystery of the bungalow was going to require some hard snooping; there must be a number somewhere. And there was (carefully hidden in plain sight, next to the door, but much too small to read from the street):

It seems that the Bungalow was originally built as an annex to the house on Cavendish Road.
