Chapel Street was originally called Back Street, possibly because it was at the back of the churchyard. It derived its current name from the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel that used to stand on the corner of Chapel Street and Queens Square. A part of it was also known in the late 19th and early 20th century as Bank Street from the old Savings Bank at the junction of Chapel Street with Vicarage Road.
