Ponteland
Ponteland (pronounced /pÉ’n'tiË?lÉ™nd/) is a village situated in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. The name means island in the Pont (the river which flows through the village), as the area consisted of a small piece of solid ground around St. Mary's church and the old bridge, surrounded by marshland. This marshland is now drained, with housing built on top of it. The Pont river joins the Blyth river further downstream.
Landmarks
Ponteland is notable for its Pele tower, George Hall, Philip Barton, the Diamond Inn, its bridge, and the churches of St Mary's and St Matthew's. It is also notable for an affluent residential area, Darras Hall. Ponteland previously boasted a small castle, which was destroyed by the Scottish army under the Earl of Douglas the day before the Battle of Otterburn. The Blackbird Inn now stands on the site and is rumoured to contain an old tunnel connecting it to St Mary's church. The tunnel is supposedly bricked up behind the fireplace in The Tunnel Room.
Transport
Ponteland was once served by a branch line of the North Eastern Railway (later part of the LNER) from Newcastle upon Tyne, with a short spur to Darras Hall, but this line was an early casualty, losing its passenger services in 1929 after passenger numbers failed to meet expectations. There were initially plans to electrify the line, these being abandoned in 1907. However, a substantial part of the branch has since been resurrected as part of the Tyne and Wear Metro system, to serve Newcastle Airport.
Sports
Ponteland United — the local football club.
[[[1] Ponteland CC)] - the local cricket club
Ponteland RFC — the local Rugby Union club.
Notable people
The affluent housing estate of Darras Hall is a popular choice for many of the north-east's wealthy residents and many people associated with Newcastle United Football Club live on the estate including Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, Obafemi Martins and Terry McDermott.
In December 2005 the estate was the focus of considerable media attention when convicted rapist Iorworth Hoare moved to the estate after purchasing a house with his National Lottery winnings. Months after purchasing his house, he was bombarded with threats and constant media exposure.
One of the first houses, or farms as it was at the time, situated in the Darras Hall area, was Little Callerton House. The Old Mill, the house where Alan Shearer used to live, and various other dwellings in the area, belonged to Little Callerton House. Little Callerton House is approximately 450 years old and is standing as one the oldest buildings in the area.
Ponteland has two major supermarket chains in the village. A Sainsburys sits on the site of an old petrol station, opposite the Diamond Inn, and Waitrose is a little further along the road on the site of an old Somerfield store. It is one of only a few Waitrose stores in the North East of England.
Ponteland is also the home of the Northumbria Police force HQ.
