Hi Jeffers27,

The writing in general is terrible, however, like Geoff-E i would say that it is 4 Spark Street.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

I think Spark too.
There is a Spark Road in Manchester. I don't know the area so don't know if it would be Ancoats, but I'm sure someone will.

added: Ancoats is inner city Manchester and the Spark Road I found is on the outskirts so doesn't look like the same place.

I take it this document is a birth or baptism? If the address given is Spark St, how do you know Spark St is in Ancoats?

You could also look for the family on the 1871 and 1881 census to see if they happen to be living in the same street. Also perhaps check siblings birth/baptisms to see what address is given.

Awful writing - what is the father's name? I was going to try to find them in the censuses ....

After much searching, I found a Sparks Street on an old map of Ancoats.
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=385720,398230

Select the 1891 Town Plans (1:500) map on the right hand side, and zoom in.

I think this is the right street, because on the 1911 census Spark Street was enumerated shortly after Harding Street and Every Street, the main street near where Sparks Street was located. On some schedules it is written as Spark and others as Sparks.
