Was Buckley Street in Barnsley renamed?

[suffolkboyswife]

I have my gt gt grandfathers death cert. and it says he died in the vestry of Buckley Street chapel (it was a Primitive Methodist) I have been googling and can find a few mentions of Buckley Street Methodist Church from last year and this year, but when I look on online maps there is a church called Buckley Methodist Church on Union Court near a place called Buckley Court and it is not very far from where my gt gt grandfather was living at the time (Park Grove) is this the same place or am I mixing up 2 different churches?

around the 1970's all the area around the chapel was demolished to be replaced with more modern housing. the chapel is still there and is very much in use. i can't confirm the new names for the street but you won't be far wrong with the info you allready have. i've just phoned my mum in law and she says the chapel is nearer to sheffield road so union court is the right area.
hope this helps carolanne

Hi Carolanne,

Thank you for this information it certainly is very useful and makes sense of what the maps say now.
I have posted this message on different boards and I have even emailed the Barnsley Chronicle to have a letter put in their letters page so if you happen to see it, I haven't disregarded what you have told me I wanted to post the message about as much as possible to make sure I had more chance of reaching someone who knew, I've even emailed Barnsley Archives!

Thanks again

Sarah

Hi Possum,

do you mean your family had something to do with the chapel or just the street, what a coincidence if they had connection with the chapel, if so what is the connection and when (if you don't mind me asking  )
