'Gulley' in parts of the Midlands ... in other parts. a gulley is the little hole in the ground where the water from the sink or the drainpipe goes. I never knew hoe to tell which part I was in, but it's OK as long as no-one asks directions! There's a 'ginnel' that runs down from Mellish Road to the Arboretum (I think) in Walsall.
