It looks like "Thick Street, Southside, Glasgow". Is this correct, because I cannot find any such current road via Google? The "Southside" is fairly clear, and the "...ick" part also seems to be. Was there a Thick Street at one time, or can someone suggest another street name from that era that might look like it when poorly written?
I would be very grateful for some help.

The more I look at it , the more I am convinced it starts with "Th.." A passing thought, - if it's not "Thick" was there ever a "Thirsk" Street?
