Street name unreadable

Is Church Lane now Church Street - trying to get location accurate?

What era is the map?   MAybe you could look at a census route description for the area and see what streets are mentioned?

It's labelled 1725.

Nothing on early OS maps.

Sadly can't find an old map on nls. Finkle St & Horse Fair Green are south of King Street now & Church St is east - perhaps the orientation of the sketch is not north to top?

eg

in 1901, just put in "lived in Thorne", and a list comes up.
First person, brings you to someone in District 11,,  go to page 1, and it looks like the right area.

Roads mentioned are -
South parade, Bridge Street, Kings Street, Wikegate, Road,
also
Stonegate, Church Lane, Silver Street, Field side, North Field Road

Here's the sketch with unknown road up the right way. Could it be Kinax or Knox?

District 10 is similar, but also mentions Ellison Street

Best I can get to 1725 for  an old map

There's a Fingle st but not sure that it's that.

Interesting because there is a [?] Hnry Ellison mentioned - most of the names around must be tenants/owners.
