Snicket was the most common, although both ginnel and gennal were both
often used when I was a kid.

Any other names out there?

My stepmother who lived much of her life in Somerset, called these
drangways which I think is a local word.
She also used dimpsey for what I know as dusk.

My long deceased grandmother memorably once declared "I've got
punks up my back passage!"

pathway at the bottom of her back garden)

Both used here. A snicket is more open than a ginnel. Think
passageway/alley between houses with gardens as opposed to one between
buildings.

A vennel or a pend - depending on whether it's open to the sky or a tunnel through the buildings.

Ginnel where I grew up (Lancs, '70s).
Snickelway in York. There is a book on the Snickelways of York.

IIRC Wikipedia has a page on all the different names, as you will have spotted
there are many regional alternatives.

Ours are all called lanes and show up as that on maps even now.

Never heard any of those words used before.
