Our research shows that Copley’s Court is behind the block of shops that currently houses the Entertainer. It seems to have changes it’s name in the 1870’s to Blands Court, with a Mrs Bland showing as living there.
The entrance from Coney Street now has a door cutting off access, but a number of buildings still remain. If you click on the satellite version of the google map here you can still view them
