Title: Address query in Hunslet Leeds
Post by: pineapple88 on Monday 11 July 11 21:30 BST (UK)

Hi all

Seems I am not too good in deciphering some of the old fashioned but lovely, handwriting. Could anybody please tell me what they think this address is, I can work out the Glasshouse Street, Hunslet (I think) but it is the street before name I am in a quandry about.

Thanks for any input and help.

There was a Turkey Street in Hunslet in the 1911 census.

The 1901 census shows that Turkey Street was in the vicinity of Glasshouse Street.
