Chapel street was instated when the then-time landowner who built his country house - latterly the police station, and put Chapel Street in place to link Duke (firm Duck St) with the High Road to prevent byway over what was to become his garden. Thank you, John Peart! Sandy Yatteau Sep 2015
The area behind 15 Chapel St (formerly Derek Jordans Solicitors) was at one time infilled between the rear of that building and the back of the Golden Lion pub. The buildings there have altered since this photo was taken, and will have altered even more significantly 70-80 years begire when Ashfield and the Zpolice Station were built (latter 1832) because Chapel Street itself dudn't exist until then.

Delighted to have seen this picture which gives a view of the design of the basement windiws at 15 Chapel St (firmerly Derek Jordans Solicitors) because we are keen to reinstate these. Sandy Yatteau, Sep 2015
