A Ginnel?
I think this is what Deb from York would call a ginnel. It is a little public walkway between houses midway down a block allowing you to get through to the next street without walking all the way around. I don't think I've ever seen another in the city but it seems such a good idea that there should be more!

It does seem like a sensible idea to me!
They are very handy little short cuts RedPat, hope you find a few more!
That would be especially handy when the blocks are very long.
What a wonderful idea, Pat. I don't remember any of them in Vancouver, the only big city with which I'm well acquainted.

I learned something new today.
There should be more of them. Nice find!
Ginnel? I've never heard of it. So that's what it looks like then.
I have never heard that term before. Interesting.
Nice little shortcut Pat, now all it needs is a mural!
They are very commonplace in the UK, and make for great photos!
And apparently popular enough to require a `pick-up`sign being posted!
