Frampton Street Folly Island

Does anyone know why the houses have only odd numbers, was it originally intended to have the even numbers where the allotments are? Are there any other 'missing numbers' in other streets on Folly Island?

What an odd question, yet a good one.

I recently received in the post a gas bill for 4 Port Hill by British Gas... went to post it to the correct address but couldn't find no.4 at all... very bizarre so sent it back to British Gas!

There's no 12 Riverside either. If it had been built it would have been where the flower bed and bench are facing the canal
