Thanks it does look like that.
Looking at the occupations of other householders from the 1901 census on my street, they are what was called either 'middle class' or 'skilled working class' industries like merchants, upholstery, warehouse clerk, salesman, milliner, bedding salesman, embroidery stock-keeper, dressmaker, engraver, shipping etc.

Another widow on the street had a husband who used to be a 'hatter' making hats living in the leather area of Bermondsey, she also seems to have moved to the area after her husband died, so it does make you wonder if the Leathersellers made houses available to widows and dependants of those in the industry. A lot of them seem to have had very large families so there would have been a lot of mouths to feed!
