Just to clarify, from GR 1911 Census,

Schedule 25 is the Post Office.

Schedule 26 is (living alone):-
Louisa HARRY, Head, 72, Widow, Old Age Pensioner, b. London, Stepney

Schedule 27 is the GREEN household.

The BNA Gloucester Chronicle Saturday 16 February 1918 announces the death of Louisa HARRY of Ivy Cottage Huntley on 12th February.

There are about a dozen mentions of Ivy Cottage, Huntley in the BNA in the period 1900 to 1950 and it is clear that there were at least two of them and, possibly, three. One was “set back from the road from Huntley to Tibberton” (towards Solomon’s Tump Farm); another was at Northend near Huntley Manor. The house between the PO and the GREENs (appropriately covered in ivy) looks like a third.

Searching the net for Ivy Cottage Huntley produces some photographs from modern Estate Agents and property sites. None of them look like the house in the photo.

This subject is becoming more and more intriguing.
