The late 19th century historic map shows the subdivisions within the property and may also show an additional structure added at the western end of the row of cottages. The Royal Standard public house is also indicated at the eastern end of the row at this time.

Blackdown, historically a separate settlement, since at least the 14th century was essentially a linear development along what is now the A385, Okehampton to Tavistock Road. In 1828 at the time the Tithe Map was drawn up, it was called Lane Head Village and comprised a scattered distribution of small cottages and gardens, most of the buildings are likely to have been miners’ cottages.
Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
The modern mapping shows at least seven individual properties in Standard Court.
