What is it - a cut, an alley or a ginnel?

Not a nice day day here today.  I walked to the village in the rain and took a few photos, including this one, along the way.

I got me thinking - what people of different areas call alleyways.  I'm in the North East and  I would call something like this a cut, an alley or entry but I know different areas of the country might call it something else.

Once, when I was in Yorkshire, I stopped and asked for directions and was told to go up the snicket.  I must have looked totally blank because then I was told 'You know the ginnel' which left me more confused.

Another old North East term could be a chare and I understand that in Edinburgh it might be called a close. 

Well it's one way to fill in a dull, damp day and it did get me thinking.
