It does appear to be a location:

...Tho(ma)s Prichard Willw St. ...

The first thought that comes to mind is Will(o)w St., but without knowing more about the context it's impossible to be sure.  It could be anything which fits the contracted form.

The superscript letter following Tho. is an s.  The superscript letter following Will. clearly isn't an s.  It's a w.

Now I know this is from Oswestry, and I learn that one of the town's oldest streets is Willow St., I'm very comfortable that that is what is written in the line provided.
