Clickemin, Ponteland
This is a curious name - the closest I can find is Clickhimin (several places in Scotland), which is said to come from Old Norse: 'klakk' meaning 'rock, and 'minni' meaning 'mouth'. Ponteland is generally accepted to mean 'island in the {river} Pont', so perhaps Clickemin originally stood at the rocky mouth of a tributary of the Pont.
