If you know who the recipient was, do you know what town/county/country they were in to help narrow possibilities for street name?

Could it be Devon, Leys Berry  ???

Closest I could find without any clue as to where possibly.

Hey thank you. No idea who the recipient us,  sadly.

The photo was found in a box of my great grandfather's things. He was born and lived in Middlesbrough but did work away in the 1940s abd 1950s. Where though I don't know but I don't think outside of the UK.

Any other ideas?

Just wondering if it was Library Street and he's written it down as Lyberry St.
