Dundalk Street is a real mystery, in the 1963 Kelly's Directory it isn't listed, however if you check on Ludlow Street, Dundalk Street comes between Higher Chatham St and Higher Cambridge St, checking a similar era A-Z, Dundalk St is listed but has no reference number ? , the hunt continues.
Hi Hideaway
The Schedule of the The University of Manchester Act 2004 lists all the property acquisitions by the previous (Victoria) University. There are 3 that contain Dundalk Street
Dundalk Street and Mahogany Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester (Registered Title Number LA187940) [/color]

1/13 Dundalk Street, 100/102 Higher Chatham Street and 17/21 Ludlow Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester (Registered Title Number LA366473) [/color]

4-8 and 23-25 Ludlow Street, 55, 61 and 63 Higher Chatham Street, 4-12 Dundalk Street and 1-11 and 2-10 Woodville Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester (Registered Title Number LA62321) [/color]

I'm guessing now but:[/color]
to acquire the land to extend the university, it makes sense to buy it in parcels, rather than individual houses - fewer legal transactions and title registrations. So I reckon these 3 transactions are for all even numbered houses on one side of Dundalk, all odd numbered on the other side and of course the street between them. The City probably compulsory purchased the individual houses and then sold/gave a package to the Uni and threw the street in for good measure.
From the 2 packages containing houses above, it looks like Dundalk, Higher Chatham and Ludlow Streets were contiguous on the odd numbered side of Dundalk
and
Ludlow, Higher Chatham, Dundalk & Woodville were contiguous on the even side of Dundalk.
Mahogany is also in there.
I only need to find one of those other streets on the 32-35 OS and it should pin the area down.
Dundalk is cobbled in the photo, so it was adopted. It also has a normal/trad street sign.
There were only 7 odd numbered small houses and 6 even, so the street is short, a stub almost.
