Merton Way, Ponteland
A walkway leading to the Shopping Centre which was built on the former site of Ponteland Railway Station and Goods Yard Image The railway was built by the North Eastern Railway Company between 1904-05 running 7 miles from South Gosforth to Ponteland via Kenton Bank Foot. The section from the city to the airport is now part of the Metro network. The line to Ponteland was closed to regular passenger traffic in 1929 but casual use continued until 1967 when Richard Beeching instigated the National Rail Closures.
Ponteland had the largest goods yard on the line which was sited on the west side of the station. Facilities in 1920 included five sidings and a reversing loop, water tower, cattle dock and a large brick goods shed.

Two houses on the north side of Main Street
The houses are in Ponteland and face the Waitrose store there.
The centre section is unusual being presumably an addition to the left hand property - the brickwork is different. Also in that addition the upper floor window is raised, probably a necessity to accommodate the arch of the passage through to the rear.

Building, West Road, Ponteland
An attractive building of two properties, built of red brick banded with yellow. I can find nothing about its history, but the railway passed close by to its right, heading to Ponteland Station just to the north so it may have been associated with that Image Old photos show that the former Station building itself was largely constructed from wood.
