Riverside path on the South Stella estate
A pleasant level path has been constructed along the riverside by the new South Stella housing estate. It continues through to Blaydon station and points east. But the Keelman's Way (National Cycle Network route 141) is still signed via a much less satisfactory route alongside Stella Road (see Image).

Cromwell Ford Way, South Stella, Blaydon
A sharp bend in the River Tyne at this location (left of the path) is known by the name 'Cromwell' Image
In 1128, the name was 'Crumbwell'. 'Crumbe' is Old English for a bend (in a river), 'Crumb' means 'crooked', 'wella' means 'spring' and 'wel' means 'deep pool'. Thus 'spring in or by the river bend' or 'crooked winding stream'. At one time it was owned by the bishop of Durham and was an important location for fishing. The main catch would have been salmon, but eels, pike, minnow, burbot, trout and lamprey would also have been taken.

There was, however, a ford here at one time, and also a connection with Oliver Cromwell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_cromwell
The Protector's army camped on Ryton Haugh while he himself quartered at Stella House, before crossing the river at this point, on the march to Dunbar in 1650.

Blaydon Race Course, scene of the Geordie anthem, 'The Blaydon Races', written in the 19th century by Geordie Ridley, was located in this area of Stella Haugh 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Blaydon. Stella South Power Station was built on the site of the by then disused race track in the early 1950s.
