Vennel
A vennel is a passageway between the gables of two buildings which can in effect be a minor street in Scotland and the north east of England, particularly in the old centre of Durham. In Scotland, the term originated in royal burghs created in the twelfth century, the word deriving from the Old French word venelle meaning "alley" or "lane". Unlike a tenement entry to private property, known as a "close", a vennel was a public way leading from a typical high street to the open ground beyond the burgage plots. The Latin form is venella, related to the English word "funnel". The Scottish burghs established by David I drew upon the burgh model of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and used a number of French or Germanic words for townscape features. Aberdeen City Council refers to vennels having been part of the old town and historical records suggest Arbroath had a vennel. In the City of Durham, like Newcastle, part of the old kingdom of Northumbria, lanes are also known colloquially as vennels. There are vennels in Ardersier, Cromarty, Culross, Dalry, Dumfries, Edinburgh, Elie, Eyemouth, Forfar, Irvine, Lanark, Linlithgow, North Berwick, Peebles, South Queensferry, Stirling and Wigtown.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary

ven′el, n. (Scot.) an alley, a narrow street. [Fr. venelle, a small street.]
