The Badger, Street Houses, Ponteland
-
Description
"Street Houses was described in the Northumberland OS Name Book for Ponteland (c1860) as "a small hamlet consisting of a gentleman’s house, a farm house and a few cottages". http://namebooks.org.uk/browse/main/?OSref=407&Page=89 According to a booklet by Ponteland Civic Society (August 2018) about the 26 framed old postcards shown around the interior of the inn: "Built in the late 18th century, The Badger has served a number of purposes before welcoming the locals of the hamlet of Street Houses. Originally a gentleman's residence the pub was later split into three houses, which were occupied through the years by a succession of farmers, yeomen and a cattle dealer, before eventually becoming The Badger. The themed interior was provided with a large number of framed pictures, and no less than 26 of these comprised historic photographs of Ponteland. Most were derived from postcards; this booklet lists them and provides some background to the scenes illustrated". http://www.pontcivicsociety.pontelandonline.co.uk/Archive/BADGER_A4_SHEET_VERSION.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20201203064014/http://pontcivicsociety.pontelandonline.co.uk/Archive/BADGER_A4_SHEET_VERSION.pdf" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2021. -
