I can see why you need help with that one! 

Looks like something "Co" at the top

Not quite but "Burgess Court" London SW and then Leeds at the bottom.  Maybe.
I want to say "Headingly" under Leeds but looks more like Reading.

I thought it looked like Leeds Street, Reading too, but I couldn't find one. However, might the line above be 'Royal Berkshire', which is a/the big hospital in Reading?

In the top part, could lines 2 & 3 be 'Raynes Park/London S.W.'?

Thanks Millie, I got something similar.

Yes I think it could be, George's photo was taken in Hull.

Thanks for that Arthur, It's a good call.

Or might it be Carb[...] - maybe Carbon, Carbine?

Do you know anything about George Robinson's line of work etc? It might give a clue to the kind of thing he could have jotted down.
