Was this row of houses named Pottery Terrace or something like that?

John Noakes, whatever it may say on the tin - this row of houses also had a name, like many rows of houses did.

This is also written on the tin:
In case you didn’t know, nitpicking means fussing or being overly concerned with minor rules or details. Simply put, it’s fault-finding at a petty level, and sometimes considered a symptom of mental disorders.
