Hello, I would be very grateful to anyone who can interpret this 1911 Census Address..3rd line, below Station Town as well as this street name from the 1891 Census in Hutton Henry.
Thank you!!!!

Looks like "Wingate Station" to me.

Not sure about your other query but wonder if it could be "Front Street", Hutton Henry?

Good morning,
Don't think it says Wingate Station. Look at the St in Station Town on 2nd line, that is nowhere near the same even allowing for slight discrepancy in handwriting.

Agree with Stan. :)
Add - but see what you mean about the second Station, John

You can see East View, Station Town, Wingate at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/440764/536225/12/101064

Back again,
This is quite a strange address, Station Town and Wingate are seperate places close to one another. But East View is in Wheatley Hill which is just west of Wingate running north from Wingate Lane.

PS can't see your link Stan, says I need to subscribe at that map level.

Just been looking , Stan. It does say Wingate Station Junction as well as Station Town.

The other one (as said previously) is Front Street.

You change the zoom level with the - in the top left corner, then you can see the map.
This is from No. 8

The other one (as said previously) is Front Street.
Front Street is also on the map link that I gave, just to the East West of East View running NNW to SSE.

Probably on Stan's map too.

And again,
That makes more sense Gadget, my search only turned up the other East View. I see also that Front St is just up the road from East View, 2 mins walk probably.
Just trying to position it on a modern map as Google maps show no railways now.

This was more than helpful everyone!!
Thank you very much, I can see several of my ancestors streets on that map and did not realise how close they were until now. Thank you!

I thought I was supposed to be looking at Hutton Henry - where no streets are shown on the map that you just linked to
Hutton Henry has a Front Street of its own http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=442349&Y=536249&A=Y&Z=106.

If you keep zooming out on the map I gave you get the modern street map. https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/440764/536225/12/101064
