Now on the day I wandered down Cavell Street the sun was
shining and even this bleak and empty side street seemed inviting.
It connects Newton Street with Little Lever Street
Back in 1851 it was Nightingale Street and had you plunged
down it from Newton Street on a sunny
day back then you would have passed a collection of properties, an entry into a
courtyard and at the other end the Haunch of Venison public house which stood
in direct competition with its near neighbour the Wellington which is now
Mother Mac’s.
That said even in 1851 it was not deemed important enough an
entry in the street directory
