A map of the area from 1957:

Wanchai Road was renumbered numerous times in the early 20th century so 153 moved around a lot. Do you know what year Homewood was dated 153.  For instance on the 20th February 1903 151 became 153 (IL1419) and the existing 153 became 155 (IL1368). In 1925 No 151 &153 became 191 & 193. (These were just to the east of Wood Road) 

153 became 193 on November 20th 1925. Here is a map of the area from the 1920s. i have added the numbers in red:

The second photo I believe is a picture of the building, taken approximately where the red x is on the above map:

The building in the Wild Dell location was renumbered from 147 to 181 on the same date and is situated on the triangular piece of land to the left of No 151
