Hi Kathryn, There is a small hamlet called 'Bank' about a mile to the west of Kinnerton village on the road to New Radnor. It is shown on both modern 25K series OS maps and the 1891 OS map available through the Old Maps website. My grandmother, Gertrude Alice Evans, was born at 'X Ditch', which appears to be a cottage in Bank, in 1890. The other properties on your census page don't appear on the map around Bank, though; Yonkin Farm, for example, lies about a mile to the north of Kinnerton. That said, I have come across other instances of discontinuous address sequences on rural census returns, so this may be the right Bank despite the adjacent addresses not matching. Bank sounds a safer place to take photographs of too in the light of Adam's advice.
