Chapel Lane

The 1854 Ordnance Survey map shows that Chapel Lane then took the same route today, from it’s junction with modern day High Street. A built up area of South Elmsall, Chapel Lane was the location of a Wesleyan chapel, in 1854. At it’s south eastern terminus Chapel Lane split into two roads, Hacking Lane (which still follows a similar path today, and Little Lane leading south westerly. Part of what was Little Lane today is Heming’s Way.

In November 1862 an auction took place where a freeholding on Chapel Lane, containing a farm house, barn, mistal and outbuildings, orchard and two closes of land known as Trough Closes were sold. A house and freehold land belonging to William Baddiley, including three houses on Chapel Lane, were sold at auction in April 1879, as advertised in the Sheffield Independent. One of the three houses on Chapel Lane were occupied by Miss Harrop.
