Ponteland is a parish in Northumberland, England, lying roughly eight miles (13 km) northwest of Newcastle upon Tyne. The settlement was established on marshland and is situated near St Mary's Church and an old bridge, indicating a long history in the area. The local water supply was historically managed by the Newcastle and Gateshead Water Company from 1845 until 1974, initially known as the Whittle Dean Water Company before adopting its later name in 1863. The company expanded its service area over time and eventually merged with the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company in 1992 to form North East Water, which was later incorporated into Northumbrian Water in 1995. These developments reflect the region’s evolving infrastructure and the importance of reliable water services for the community.
