The ways called ginnells, g as in good, around my first home in Barnsley now in South Yorkshire, were the ways between double hedges, often worn down with use so they were in effect an 0 shape, with the branches meeting overhead, or any narrow lane with the same over arching.

A snicket was a way through - as in - Tut School? Well - if thas driving its up t'ill, reight at top and on a bit tut gates, but if thah's walkin tha goes straight on that way and there's a snicket bit'ween t'ouses, wi rails on't coursey edge, tha can't miss it. It cums art ut side on't school, and tha gooes rand tut left.
