Pendower Cottages, Fox and Hounds Lane

Pendower Cottages first appear on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey for the area and appear to have been estate cottages for the Pendower Estate (HER 9823), created in 1864. Farrier suggests that they might have been constructed contemporary with the main house: Pendower, between 1864 and 1867. The estate was sold to Newcastle Council for development as a housing estate in 1919. The estate cottages were tenanted and special provision was made for Mrs Rachel McDougall, the elderly and longstanding occupant of one of the Cottages, to remain in situ at a rent of 1/- per year. The cottages became 61 and 63 Fox and Hounds Lane and remain extant. Sandstone gate posts associated with the estate are part of the entrance of property to the south.
