(UK, slang, obsolete) The throat.
An old piece of British slang for the throat — specifically the gullet or swallowing passage. Red lane was a vivid, colourful way to refer to the throat, typically in the context of eating, drinking, or getting something down the hatch. It belongs to the lively tradition of 18th and 19th century cant and vulgar English slang, where body parts got cheeky, irreverent nicknames. You'd hear it most in references to food and drink going 'down the red lane.' Obsolete today, but charming in its bluntness.
A narrow roadway; a lane
