Hi Moira

Is it too big or is the name duplicated - what does it say when you try to upload?

If it is on a census , have you tried looking at the pages before and after, to see if street name clearer, or better still on the first page of the schedule where the enumerators route is described, usually in a different (and hopefully clearer) handwriting?  I have solved several that way in my own research.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Best I can make of it is Kings Street ( with the loop of the g missing) or Kinas Street.  The othe King  Street is adjacent.

Added - if it's Thorne in Yks, there's no similar name leading from King Street on modern map  :-\

I don't think there were two king streets.  We still have King Street. Two more became Finkle Street and Horsefair Green later on.
