Alexandra Rd is largely made up of large Victorian houses and they would probably have been owned by local businessmen or local dignitaries, and servants. On Google, no.18, as it was, has obviously been demolished and there’s now a modern semi-Det. but many of the original houses are still there. So (I suspect) the road may have been put together over a period of years, and houses re-numbered over a period of time.
