Sudbrook Cottage and Sudbrooke Cottages

This sign, while distinctly charming, is not the sign that I was looking for, though it does tell half the story.

I had always assumed that the terrance of cottages close to Ormeley Lodge on Ham Gate Avenue were called Sudbrook Cottages and the end one (made famous by Beverly Nichols) was, as the sign proclaims, Sudbrook Cottage but the Royal Mail Postcode Finder tells another story. That tells me that the other cotttages are called Sudbrooke Cottages, with an "e". The Royal Mail is the one source of truth on addresses so this must be true.
