Usage examples of "rolley".

The half circle was broken by the rolley way that led down into the drift from the level land above, and John had to make way for Tilly as she walked it until the way was blocked by waggons and the women crowded to the side of them.

She said nothing, but hurried through them and, almost running down the rolley way, she came to the junction where the women turned to her with their sweat-smeared faces eager with the news.

The rolley line now met up with others coming out of different roads, and on these there were more horses dragging more tubs.
