I think it might say "Carr St, Lincoln".  There is a Carr St in modern Lincoln, not sure if it's the same one: http://goo.gl/maps/DAxHW

In 1881 the family were living at 31 Carr Street, Lincoln.

I have seen a few 1911 entries where the street name and number were entered on the form - here's an example
