BaaLocks Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 3 hours ago, sage said: In the ghettos of South Normanton a jitty was a footpath between houses from one street to another. A gennal was the arched passage between terraced houses. Some old folk said ginnel. Ghettos? I'm from 'proper' Normanton - and I don't think we were posh enough to have two seperate words. I think (iirc) we just called it a siding down Stanton Street way. It wasn't a jitty, that was definitely a narrow alleyway linking streets, full public access.

The passageway between terraced houses that led to the back gardens was called "the entry", which gave rise to endless Carry On moments. "Hum" is a word I don't hear much anymore, as in something smelling awful. Bigfella and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 You don't hear 'won' very often these days. Well, not in the same sentence as Notts Forest ? Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it still in use in the homeland? Very much so. When I lived in Glossop I lived next to a ginnel. We all called it THE ginnel!! You don't hear the word 'scurrilous' used at all these days despite it being a fine word.
