Description: | Dryden's Farm, after which the road took its name, stood on the site of the current fire station. In the early 20th century the farm fields extended southwards between Old Durham Road and Durham Road to Denewell Avenue. A rough farm track known as Dryden's Lane (now Dryden Road) ran between the farm fields right up to Kells Lane. On the east of this lane the only building in this vast stretch of fields from Inskip Terrace to Kells Lane was the Children's Hospital On the west side of the lane, after passing the wall surrounding the private residences where the Springfield Hotel now stands, the fields stretched unbroken to Musgrave House. (Manders, 1973). By the late 1930s Low Fell had become a select suburb of Gateshead. From the 1920s onwards private houses were built between Shipcote and the village, encroaching on the fields and by the Second World War Dryden's Farm, along with Orchard Cottage Dairy Farm and Derwent Crook Farm were no more. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Streets | Temporal: | name=1960s; start=1960; end=1969; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
