Occupation and Road Name

MollyMay

Knows where to find the answers!
Can I have another opinion on the occupation and the address from a m/c (on Anc.) 2/4/1893 James White and Sarah Cotton at St John Limehouse (London)
1780684871236.webp

Many thanks

59 ?Dashett Street -- there was a Dassett Street now Dassett Road but that is Lambeth --- I'm far from certain that is a D anyway
Edit: There is a Duckett Street in Stepney (it used to be Edward St and Ernest St-- uncertain as to when it changed, the only info is pre-1912)

My first thoughts were Safe maker and Dushett Street, I can’t find anything to back either up, but I can’t see anything else :confused:
 
Thank you both - I think the road is Duckett Street, but it was the D I was unsure of.
I know Duckett Street was in the Limehouse area, my mum and dad often spoke of it.
The occupation I was torn between soap and safe but also considered rope although the first letter does look like every other s he has written
It doesn't help that on the 1901 census he is a dock labourer :(
