Help me find the street my father lived in

question

Hello everyone,

So my dad was born in 1954 in Leeds but unfortunately died when I was too young to ask him questions about his life.

His birth certificate says he lived in a street named "Farrar Street", unfortunately I believe this Street doesn't exist anymore. The birth certificate also states:

"Farrar Street

Leeds. 9."

I believe they mean postcode LS9 / Eastern City of Leeds. Which would make sense because the registration district is the sub-district Leeds East of the county borough of Leeds.

My question to you is if you have any idea where approximately Farrar Street could be today. That way I'd be one step closer to knowing more about my dad.
