Tasker Rd to Cross Lane, Crookes. Did it daily as a kid, walking to King Ted’s at Crosspool. There is (or was) a dry cleaning business part way along the route, the exhaust fumes used to make your head hurt if you stood outside it too long

I was going to post about these exact ones!
Used to live on Mulehouse Rd & that was my route to Lydgate School & my Nanan’s house.
I remember the dry cleaners too - a long forgotten memory. Used to know the people who lived at the very top of the gennel in the house that goes to a point.
There’s loads of gennels in Crookes & used ‘em all in my time as a kid.
The one opposite the Noah’s Ark was a favourite as were the unmarked ones around Loxley View, Longfield & Netherfield plus the one from Lydgate Lane to the top of Forres Rd.

Wait until you hear his ringtone…

1. The gennels leading to Wheata
2. One that cuts threw concord Park into flats at Wincobank
3. Just up from Barry's bar to get into Sharrow
4. The whole of the Westfield Estate
5. The whole of the Wensley Estate

More specifically, the one from Rokeby to Wheata?

& my Nanan’s house

And there’s another Sheffieldism - good luck finding a birthday card etc with nannan on outside of the immediate area!

So long as he doesn't have an owl tattoo anywhere on his body he's ok by me.

my favourite gennil as a kid was on fox lane oppo frecheville skoyal would spend many a dinner time stood having a fag on there.
second favourite the one on top of birley spa lane leading to jermyn close knew i was nearly home after getting of the old 41 hackey flyer

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Not quite a gennel, but the path from Marsh Lane, Crosspool to Crookes. Spent hours down there as a kid, how I didnt get bummed I’ll never know.

Don’t sound so disappointed Rodders…

 

[brownblade]

I stand corrected.

'Ginnel' is also used in Leeds.

I was gonna say, I know that in Leeds it's a ginnel. Not gin line the drink, but g-in-ell.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Are the dirty and clean gennels on beaver Hill Rd in handsworth still dirty and clean?

 

[Mattblade68]

I clicked on the Stir but my computer froze with Ad links , so could not learn any truths from that bible of all knowledge..

 

[BrisBlade]

He will be that up for it on Saturday if picked he will kick Eze into the John Street stand and get banned for 10 games.

Yeah, but it'd be worth the entry price to see.

Gennels all over as you say. You can get all the way to Rivelin and beyond from Crookes. Born and bred there love the place.

That took me back to school days.

 

[biggiesablade]

I have fond memories of No2

It's a great gennel it really is

 

[cahill]

Custer, Rommel, Strike, Alisimo, …..now I’m struggling.

 

[cahill]

Should get Dozy to take him for a pint of Guiness.

 

[Oreyt]

Button Hill to Oliver Road.

 

[I should coco]

Wasn't even a glint in his father's eye when proper Sheffielders were getting told to fuck off by the bouncers at Josephine's.

"JACKET!"

Big Jim, mid 80s.
You put it jacket on when you heard that.

 

[Le Cynique]

If he doesn’t know the average gradient of Blake Street he can get to fuck.

 

[Gin&Juice]

I’ve been waiting for a top 5 gennel list all my life.

5) The gennel that skirts past Rossis onto Abbeydale road from Sharrow. A classic route to the lane.

4) Frog walk. The tight gennel that takes you to cemetery road. That gennel is for hard bastards.

3) The secret gennel in nether edge from Edgedale Road to Sandford Grove.

2) The old gennel from the back of King Ecgbert school’s Wessex Building. A classic smokers gennel.

1) Jew Lane in town.

 

[Teddy]

Oooh what a cracking topic this is. My personal fave is this understated beaut connecting Louth Road and Greystones Avenue. Was on my walk to school and seemed much steeper in my memory.



I really hope Vinicius comes on here looking to see what fans think of him signing…

My Grandparents lived on #5.

That estate is full of gennels - it was like an escape room on that estate.

It must be a nightmare to police

There was a bike track on there wasn’t there? Allotments on the other side if I remember.

That was when they were developing who areas of land. These days, the developers are just "filling in" little plots here and there, they can't put genels in because they only own that patch, and they are too tight to give up the space. And everyone is a nimby these days and dunt want people walking past their houses.

View attachment 167779Yes! Was just thinking I’d heard that phrase somewhere; wondered what the name was all about.

Lucky that you didn’t meet Generous George in the gennel...

That is one scary hand.

That is one scary hand.

I'm assuming the other gloved hand is holding a roll of gaffer tape....
