Description
"There harde by dothe… Deene watar dryve a mill, and passithe thrwghe the… on this watar there by is a litle archid bridge" (John Leland, c.1539). This may be the Stock Bridge, although there must have been other bridges here. Horseley, in 1732, describes Pandon dene as a hollow and a brook, with an old house nearby (Pandon Hall HER 6621) and the Stockbridge. There is a 13th century quitclaim (1269-70) which refers to land in "Pampedene" lying near the stone bridge. Gray records that the Stock Bridge was the site of the ancient fish market, where boats came up from the River Tyne. The hill of sand left next to Stock Bridge when the tide was out was known as "Alvey's Island" (HER 6528). Bourne reports that the bridge was made of timber in ancient times, although there is an account of it being stone when Thomas de Carliol was mayor in the reign of Edward I at latest (1272-1307). Stok brygg (1493) means either wooden bridge or bridge by a stump.

Description
Gray describes a house in Pandon called Pandon Hall, an ancient old building - the seat of the Kings of Northumberland. He says of Pandon village - it has retained its name and has not much altered since the Romans resided here. After the Romans left, the Kings of Northumberland resided here. Pandon Hall was a safe bulwarke, having the Picts Wall on the north side and the River Tyne on the south. Pandon is of such antiquity that if a man wishes to describe an ancient thing, he would use the common proverb "as old as Pandon". Here were ancient buildings, houses and streets, some occupied by gentlemen of Northumberland. Bourne records that Pandon Hall stood opposite to a house called The Stones owned by Lady Goldburgh. By 1736 Pandon Hall had been rebuilt, but there were many ancient walls and parts of the original building still standing. It was a large property, its north side extended from the Stockbridge to Cowgate, and its western side from Stockbridge to the lane that leads into Blyth Nook.

Gray describes a house in Pandon called Pandon Hall, an ancient old building - the seat of the Kings of Northumberland. He says of Pandon village - it has retained its name and has not much altered since the Romans resided here. After the Romans left, the Kings of Northumberland resided here. Bede describnes a major Royal estate capital called "Ad Murum" ("by the Wall") which lay on flat ground by the Tyne. Oswin, King of Northumbria (d. 651) apparently lived there and it was the site of the baptism of Bishop Finanus of Paeda, King of the Middle Angles, and all his thanes and servants. Gray felt that this might be Pandon village or Pandon Hall. Pandon Hall was, according to Gray, a safe bulwarke, having the "Picts Wall" on the north side and the River Tyne on the south. Pandon was of such antiquity that if a man wishes to describe an ancient thing, he would use the common proverb "as old as Pandon". Here were ancient buildings, houses and streets, some occupied by gentlemen of Northumberland. Bourne records that Pandon Hall stood opposite to a house called The Stones owned by Lady Goldburgh. By 1736 Pandon Hall had been rebuilt, but there were many ancient walls and parts of the original building still standing. It was a large property, its north side extended from the Stockbridge to Cowgate, and its western side from Stockbridge to the lane that leads into Blyth Nook (the crooked line of this street hints at the presence of a pre-existing building which had to be skirted around). Its northern face coinicided with the front row of houses called "Red Row". The Hall would not have functioned as a manorial residence after the annexation of Pandon into Newcastle in 1299.
