Interesting. I always think of the g in begin as soft and the g as in gin as hard.

I went up there aged 22, and returned to twittens (where I grew up) in my 60s.

Similar story but not looking like a return is on the cards.

Admit your age by recalling the Lion's name

As I did.
Snicket, Ginnel, Twitten, Flutester, Jinnel / Jennel / Gennel, Alley / alleyway, Ten-foot, Jigger / Jigga, Entry, Jitty, Passage, Gulley, Twitchell, Shuts, Snickleways, Gauts, Wynds, Chares, Pend, Close, Opes, Cracks, Scores, Lonning, Lokes, Drong - they all mean roughly the same thing in different parts of the country. Never expected this topic to come up on NSC!

Cleckheaton. My dads cousin Ronnie live in Cleckheaton. Wonder if it was one of the family.
When dad died, my mum cut herself off from his side of the family and therefore I probably have many cousins etc in parts of Huddersfield...after looking into the family tree on dads side, the Wilcock's came from Halifax, Calderdale originally and were all mill workers.
Think I’ve mentioned it before, my great grandfather on my mum’s side owned a Turkish bath in Huddersfield. Not sure of date but I guess it would be turn if the Century.

Thought they had Weymouth after they controversially went through as Needhan Market refused to play the replay??

Where abouts in town? I remember some buildings that we used to call baths which is where the university buildings are now. .
Not entirely sure, but I’ll endeavour to find out. Pretty sure that side of the family moved to Brighton in the 1920s as my mum was born in 1936 and her dad was quite young when he got to the promised land.

Aye......some at Workington weren't too thrilled at the prospect of playing Weymouth because , apparently, the distance involved meant that Weymouth could claim the cost of an overnight stop out of the gate money.
& it's ginnell round Bolton/Manchester.
