Try the website "twixtaireandcalder" entering "normanton" and"chapel" into the search box, with "all words" ticked.  This takes you to a picture of a methodist chapel opposite which is a row of houses ( unidentified) -- it may or may not be Chapel Row but it does say that they still exist.

HI there, Chapel Row, Foxbridge Row, Goodhope Row. Cooperative Street and Pontefract Road were all demolished in the early 1970's along with the Silkstone buildings. The area is now Wakefield Europort. As the name suggests, Chapel Row did have a Chapel at the main road end. About 100 yards from the chapel was Pontefract road Methodist Church,and I know for definite that the church was demolished in September 1967 and at that time all the other streets were still standing.PS,I married a girl from Cooperative street in 1957.
