I have just bought this photo (its not the clearest) from Ebay and I think it is the top of Church St, on the corner with the turn to the church on the right. The steps are there which still exist.
I have never seen another picture of this cottage on the corner wonder if it the start of the row I have highlighted on the attached map.
Old Whittington One Place Study 
You ca see n the ther side the raw of cottages and int he ones which go the same direction as the road
But didn’t the row which was called mount peasant go across just higher
My sister lived the las house on the row
At the bottom of their garden was a footpath
And then a bid house
