Wylam Waggonway at Street Houses
An isolated group of four terraced cottages adjacent to the former railway line, close to Street House, birthplace of George Stephenson, and the River Tyne. Street House was originally on the Close House estate. It was formerly one large farmstead called Street House which was later demolished, and on the site with the same stones, were built these four cottages, retaining the same name, and occupied by fishermen and their families, employed by Bewicke family.

Alpine penny-cress (Thlaspi alpestre)
Growing in short grassland by the River Tyne Image Spring Sandwort Image has also been recorded here, although not seen recently. They are both local rarities, predominantly associated with lead mining sites. The grassland and neighbouring woodland have developed on alluvial deposits, contaminated by heavy metals derived from the North Pennine Orefield upstream http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/tyne/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_8528000/8528279.stm The area is maintained as a nature reserve by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002722.pdf

Berries of cuckoo-pint (Arum maculatum), Tyne riverside
In autumn the lower ring of female flowers forms a cluster of bright red berries which remain after the spathe and other leaves have withered away Image These attractive red to orange berries are extremely poisonous. The berries contain oxalates of saponins which have needle-shaped crystals which irritate the skin, mouth, tongue, and throat, and result in swelling of throat, difficulty breathing, burning pain, and upset stomach. However, their acrid taste coupled with the almost immediate tingling sensation in the mouth when consumed mean that large amounts are rarely taken and serious harm is unusual. It is one of the most common causes of accidental plant poisoning based on attendance at hospital A & E departments. http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/atoz/arum_maculatum.htm "If I have a son, he shall salute the lords and ladies who unfurl green hoods to the March rains, and shall know them afterwards by their scarlet fruit." Opening lines of the prose poem, 'All these I learnt' by Robert Byron (1905-1941) http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/arts/prince_poem_20061005.shtml
