Deciphering 1930 Redcar street name

[Eamann]

Hello!

I’d be very grateful if someone could help me decipher a Redcar street name.

My grandfather, Michael Magee, emigrated from Belfast to Redcar in 1919 and from there to the USA in 1930. I attach a photo of the immigration form he filled in on arriving  at Detroit. The quality is not very good and I would be very grateful if someone could decipher for me the address in Redcar where he had been living previously. The address looks like 2, ... Road. The name of the street is short, four or five letters.

In case it might be of use, here is what I know about Michael Magee’s stay in Redcar:

- emigrated from Belfast on 1 Jan. 1919;
- a motor mechanic by trade, worked in Redcar as a bus driver and then in the bus depot in Dormanstown;
- lived with his wife in Brookbank Ave. after arrival from Belfast
- separated from his wife in 1924 and went to live with another woman; presumably he took her with him to America.

Thank you very much for any help you can give!

Could it be Limes Road?

Hi there,

I think it is Lime Road, the road is still there in Redcar too, if you google maps it, it's not far from the sea front

Thank you both very much! "Lime" seems to correspond exactly with the writing. Redcar is small and there cannot be many roads with similar short names.

My next step now will be to try and get a look-up in a street directory to see if I can find the name of the woman my grandfather ran away with!

For the record, he died young in 1954, in Detroit.

Once again, thank you very much for your help! That's another piece of the puzzle in place!

Just pop over to the Yorkshire (North Riding) board if you need any help with Redcar information.

Teesside Archives in Middlesbrough hold all the records for the Redcar area, in case you didn't know.

Contact details on this web page: http://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/leisure-and-culture/archives/

Also Redcar Library might be able to help: http://www.redcar-cleveland.gov.uk/Libraries

Good luck with your searching

*EDIT* I've just seen your new thread on the North Riding board and realise I was too late to be helpful and you already know all this, sorry about that!

[Eamann]

Thank you very much all the same!

Best wishes,

Hi, If Limes Road doesnt get you anywhere could it be Ings Road? If so it is still there and is off Redcar Lane,  there used to be a farm called Ings Farm also were my great grandparents lived and my maternal grandmother was brought up. Hope this helps

Hello!

It's very kind of you to take the trouble to reply to my query, but in fact Limes Road is what I was looking for.

Best wishes,

Hi Eamann

From an ex Redcarite - Lime Road (no s on the end),  comes out in Laburnum Road at one end and Park Avenue at the other (turn right into Park Avenue takes you to the beach!)
