Deciphering a 1871 census address

I've found that my great, great grandparents lived in All Saints, Newcastle in 1871, but I'm struggling to read the address. Any help would be gratefully received.
Would also love to know if there's a searchable street map from that time?

Welcome to RootsChat Londonfox64.
You can see the area on this 1858 map
https://maps.nls.uk/view/102346485
and in more detail on this 1914 map
https://maps.nls.uk/view/132280034
It may be possible to follow the enumerator's route on the census you have to work out where Petrie's Entry was with more accuracy.

This account (dated 1824) describes the area around Sandgate
(link added as it didn't seem to show !, sorry)
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/newcastle-historical-account/pp182-186
The third paragraph mentions a number of lanes and footnote 1, further down the page lists them by name, on the south side of Sandgate, beginning at the west end.
Petrie's Entry is listed in there.
Though I can't find a map that details all these little lanes and entries, this shows the area side by side with a modern day map.

Newcastle Libraries have some images of Sandgate in their excellent Flickr collection.
None labelled at Petrie's Entry and the dates are mainly later than you are looking for, but maybe will give you a general idea of the area.

Newcastle Courant, 1 Aug 1873
"... Petrie's Entry, next the Jack Tar public house ..."
This pinpoints the Jack Tar on a modern map -

Apologies, I think I linked the wrong 1914 25inch map, it should be this one
https://maps.nls.uk/view/120934146
(top right hand corner)
(Had so many tabs open, and a senior's moment obviously ...
