Tenter Garth, Throckley
Tenter Garth was the name of a field in this location before houses were built along the Hexham Road. 'Tenter' refers to frames used by clothiers to stretch and dry cloth. The cloth was fastened to the frame by hooks which is the origin of the term 'tenterhooks', an expression of suspense, first used in the C15th.
