That's Pottery Terrace.
Behind the big door in the brick building was Dorma sheets weaving shed, there was 180 looms rattling away in there.
Good photo Andy, and more or less in the same area that the photographer of Robert's photo was, when they were taking the photo of Pottery Street. On the photo they don't look to be bad housing though there's a photo on the site that show some with subsidence.

The photo Robert posted is already on the site by Ron, and a lot clearer:
