There was a Chapel Street running parallel and in between Hamilton Lane and Lord Street. If you had your back to the job centre you'd be looking down it... I don't know if there's any connection though...

I've had a look at the next road in the census after Chapel place and its Oliver street, which runs alongside Claughton road. Theres a car park there now so im guessing the road could have been around that area.I would love to see it on a map though to confirm.

And Myrtle Place, not far from Livingstone St Baths

(if you want Myrtle Street instead, a bit of that is now called Brill Street, by Brassey Street)
