Can anyone read what's crossed out?

This is the back of a photo of a WW1 solider.

Mr Petch is my great grandfather, his sister was married to a Baxter.

I can read

Mrs Baxter
17 ?????? Place
as copy
M Wear Mouth (think this is Monkwearmouth)

In 1911 the Baxter's were living at Barclay Street, Monkwearmouth.

Thanks

Possibly Howick Place

Heaviely ?

At first glance "Heaviely" seems nearer the mark, but closer inspection, shows that there's a middle section which is like a small version of the W in "Wear". I suspect Elaine is correct, but it's not easy to read!

Thanks ladies.

Elaine I think your right, i've found 17 Howick Place on the 1911 census, sadly occupied by a Coxon family tho.

I've got a reproduction 1895 OS map of central Sunderland. Monkwearmouth is on the north bank of the Wear, to the east of the rail and road bridges. Along the river are a sawmill, brewery and a couple of engineering works and shipyards. Howick Street is the first big east-west road and Howick Place is on the north side between Rendlesham Street and Liddell Terrace. Both of these roads run north into Barclay Street, which is the next east-west road. Most of the houses in Howick Place look a decent size and have back gardens, as do the houses in Barclay Street.

Oooo back gardens they must of been posh having gardens & not just the usual nettie in the backyard!

Thanks for the info UJ.

I got the map on Ebay - didn't pay much for it.
