Blake lived here with his wife, Catherine, throughout the 1790s. The photograph was taken in about 1913 and shows that it had already been honoured with a plaque. Despite this the house, with the rest of the terrace presumably, was demolished in 1918. See Captain's Cook's house - that also got demolished despite having a plaque.
