I attach an image of the unknown text along with "Reform Street" for comparison. I can't decipher it. Can't find any likely streetname in the list of streets in 1871 Census for Dunfermline nor in Pitcairn's "... Old Fitpaths and Streets of Dunfermline".

Dod, thanks for putting the image here. I was holding off for my next visit to SP in a couple of weeks time, but you've beat me to it

I can now see where Bill "is coming from" with his resulting interpretation. Does seem a bit of an oddity though, but I'm happy to close this thread now.
Thanks to all for their input. RootsChatters come up trumps again
