If you give the census reference it should be possible to follow the enumerator's route and see exactly where it was.   You can often find a road nearby that still exists that way.  "Victoria" was such a popular street name then.

Victoria Terrace was in the Coatham district of Redcar

Having found my book, I can tell you that the Coatham area of Redcar was developed mainly along Coatham Road, which you should be able to find on the map.  It was made up of several individually named terraces, including Victoria.

The names were changed in about 1935, so Portland, Victoria, Cleveland, Bentinck, Vansittart and Theresa Terraces all became Coatham Road.  This was to reduce the confusion caused by the similarity of some names in both Redcar and Coatham.

Sorry Stu, just amended my post, please see below for full explanation of road name changes
Yes, definitely Redcar, found George on the census, would now be Coatham Road

Thanks very much, so each block would be a "terrace", wouldn't know which is which would you?

If I can dig out my old map I may be able to.  Here's an old pic of Coatham Road dated about 1900
