Arnie, ginnel (hard G) was the word in my part of the West Riding: Leeds. Or Crossgates to be more precise. Maybe it depends on whether you call the gathering of combustibles for Bonfire Night "chumping" or "progging" - or even whether it's not Bonfire Night but Plot Neight. In my experience, five or ten miles could make all the difference.

On the other hand, "lonnin" for farm lane, as mentioned by Suzie, seems to hold good all over Cumbria, or at least from Wetheral to Egremont. Though if we're reviving the Ridings, I should perhaps be saying Cumberland.

Entries, Belfast style, are not quite the same thing as ginnels. In residential areas of Belfast an entry runs between two terraces of houses, at the rear of both, on to which backyards open (known as back streets in northern England, and actually named as such, as in the Liverpool song, Back Buchanan Street). In the city centre an entry is more likely to be a bustling alleyway, maybe containing a shop or two, or a bar (eg the Morning Star). A ginnel (in Crossgates, Leeds, at any rate) would typically be a pedestrian-only link between two roads, passing between a couple of houses and their gardens. No roof.
