Photo Gallery: GinnelWatch – time to show us your ginnels!
We love a good ginnel at Northern Soul. But, depending on where you’re from, there are all sorts of words for what essentially amounts to an alleyway, including jennel, snicket, vennel, gennel, jitty, jetty and our new favourite…a weind.
So, if you have a favourite ginnel, please share it with us. You can do this via our Twitter, Facebook or Instagram pages and your snaps will be featured on our weekly ginnel photo gallery.
We’ve got some brilliant images from Chorlton and Co Mayo in Ireland to, Saddleworth and Manchester City Centre.
So, what are you waiting for? Get those cameras out and #ShowUsYourGinnels.

It's another grey day so today we're going to think about one of the last times we went on holiday - to The Inn at Whitewell in the Forest of Bowland. Happy days. pic.twitter.com/42nL0bywZY
