I have a birth certificate that gives an address in Bradford 1923 as 35 loon street at least thats what it looks like not sure of the 1st letter tho. Any information would be of help.  Many thanks.

I think it would be LOOM Street, Bradford.  I don't know if it is still there.

Many thanks for your help. Apparently that area was redeveloped in 1935 as part of slum clearance. Found some pictures of the area here.
