Droke

The pathway behind a group of terraced houses, sometimes called an alley or jetty. This word was used by my grandmother in central southern Hampshire - the village of Titchfield. The word in this usage probably derived from another meaning of droke: a culvert or ditch.

The nipper was playin' in the droke when 'e fell awf 'is bike.
