Looking at the 1845 map it looks as though the wall between the backs of Richmond Hill Street and Higher Antley Street is the remains of a field boundary which is clearly shown on the map and also on the later 1891 map. This could account for the lack of kerbstones on the Higher Antley side of the wall.
At the end of the end of the block, at the junction of Richmond Street and Richmond Hill Street, is an area enclosed by a red brick wall. This was the site, in 1845, of a house called "Priest Heys". The land does not appear to have been built on since then, I wonder why?
