Lime St and Florence St have both gone.  The other streets are still there, but I couldn't tell you what numbers.

courtney street was demolished  almost 50 yrs ago it is all carsales and garages there now even the baptist mission is a manufacters  show room for fire places, next door to that is a mobility saleroom. The bank at the holderness rd end is a working mans club, soon to be taken over by the council i believe as they have moved onto newbridge rd

I lived at 9 Florance Avenue in Courtney Street between 1954 and 1966 I believe it was demolished around 1970. Note the spelling of Florance - which is the correct spelling - I had a hard time at school explaining that to many of my teachers who didn't think I could spell my own address!
I also went to the chapel at the bottom of the street - was a Baptist Chapel run by Mr and Mrs Finch. We had annual Sunday School outings to Withernsea and got on the train at the station at the top of Courtney Street - just across Holderness Road. I stood on the footbridge with my pals many a time while the steam engine came underneath us and we all "disappeared" in the steam for a while!
Sorry - no pics.of the bridge. I also remember waving to the train driver on many occasions while they stopped to wait for the signal man to close the crossing gates on Dansom Lane.

I believe the new History Centre may have photos of these places. It is in Mason St, Hull if you wish to contact them. Reed St is just a tiny place at the back of a furniture Shop on Freetown Way now (A new Road). Florence Avenue has gone, Pease St is in the centre of town but is mostly offices, Lime St is all industrial, Day St isn't as long as it was. But as it was all modernised in the 1970's slum clearance, the houses won't be there.
As I spent 4 years collecting all the lost streets, terraces etc of Hull, I have thousands of these I can look up for anyone.
