NAme of road unclear

The attached extract from a death certificate shows the address on death. I should be grateful if members could help decypher it

Hello, Hogfather, and welcome to Rootschat.

It could be Miles Street, if you allow for a curly bit at the end of the downstroke on the M.  Are there any others on the certificate to compare with?
Miles Street still exists in the area west of Princes Park.  Does that seem a likely place?

If this was my research, I'd be looking for a burial record to compare to this death registration address.

Without a name its not possible to look for you. If you  provide a name and age at death then others will help to see if an address on a burial (or even probate) record can be found

I have the burial register now and it is indeed 11 Miles Street. Good tip. Thank you

There is a Mile (no S) which runs perpendicular to Clervedon Street, which is where the informant( daughter) lived. I struggle when names , spellings etc don't agree exactly. But I'm sure it's Mile / Miles Street now as it agrees with Burial register. Thank you for responding
