I used the word snicket to describe an alley the other day and my friend looked at me like I had three heads. It’s the bap/roll/cob debate all over!

I grew up in a “ginnel” region - but it developed over the years to one where ginnel, alley and snicket were all separate.
Ginnels had wooden fences on either side, alleys had the walls of buildings on either side, snickets were mud paths between trees or hedges.
I now live further east, where they use the fairly unique “tenfoot” for all of the above.
