I looked at a couple of very old OS maps, it appears that the houses here originate from at earliest 1894. The street is marked as "Kerr Street" on the 1894 map but doesn't follow the whole of modern day Ancroft Street, and had no buildings. It appears it functioned as a back alley for the buildings on Garscube Road.

Unfortunately the next OS map I know of is from the 1940s so narrowing it down further from there is quite difficult. There's probably some way to do it that I don't know though.
