Cark Street

I found a street in Birmingham called Cark Street. It was mentioned in the 1861 Warwickshire census image no. RG9 PN:2133 FN: Page:116

Does anyone know where this street was?
Many thanks

Thank you for coming back to me so quickly, everyone. I was looking up to find a family called Sanders on The Genealogist but found them living in Cark Street and this had been repeated for each of the family members. From what you say and from what I saw on the transcripts, it must have been a transcription error by the transcribers for the genealogy company. How they managed to read Cark for Clark, I can't imagine but then there are often transcription errors. Thank you for your help.
 
There is only 1 problem - I can't see any people called Sanders listed in Clark Street.
Perhaps a few more details about one or 2 family names might help solve the mystery.
 
There is a family of Sanders (Isaiah) in Osler Street a few pages before Clark Street and in the same volume.
