bubblesnikki   10 #1 Posted April 5, 2014 My grandparents and my great aunt and uncle once rented a house on capel street in the early 1950's. My great aunt told us last week that the house used to be a public house called the 'soldiers return' however, i have searched through the internet and cannot find anything with that name, but she is adamant there was and had a huge cellar. Anyone know anything or where i could look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Capel Street is still there. The Masons Arms pub is known as the Capel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jmdee   10 #6 Posted April 5, 2014 Capel Street ran from Langsett Rd., did a little jog around Blackburn Rd. towards the barracks, and then down to Penistone Rd. Don't know what it's like now as It's 10 years since I was back there. My mother lived on Capel Street when she was young, and I had a girlfriend on Blackburne Rd.  Yes, Montagu Road is now called Capel Street at it's junction with Langsett Road.
