Bolton Gardens where Potter lived was a row of houses on the south side of Old Brompton Road, now occupied by Bousfield Primary School. The 1933 picture shows just a section of number 2, at the left, with numbers 3 and 4 at the centre. However it was a street of identical semi-detached villas so number 2 would have been a mirror image of number 3.
