Not the right date for you, but have a look here:

The road names may have changed slightly, but it may help.

After you click on the map section you want did you use the zoom bar on the left side of the page? I didn't zoom in all the way when I tried it but the details shows all the buildings, etc.

Perhaps it should be Street rather than Road? Church Street can be seen on Google maps.

Church Road would now appear to be Church Street - this is from looking at the census for Church Road and seeing what streets it appears between.

Try this one:

Use the gazetteer section to navigate to Alloa and then choose a 1:10,560 scale map from around 1900 so that you can zoom in to see it.  If you use it in conjunction with a modern map (any good online atlas will do), you should be able to find the street.  It's near the church

Church Street is what you want. I doubt is has changed much since the 1900. It runs from the old Post Office up to the Town Hall. Put Church Street Alloa into Google and you can get an up to date picture. Put 'Alloa' into site 'Britain from the Air' and there is a picture there which I believe dates from about 1925.
