Leicester street name help needed
« on: Sunday 06 October 19 15:48 BST (UK) »
Can anyone decipher the abode name in the middle line of this image, please. I do have references to Butt Close Lane, but this doesn't seem to fit. The image is from FindMyPast for the baptism of William Dewick in 1827 at St Margaret's , Leicester. The occupation I know is framework knitter.
