Streetgate - East Sunniside Farm
When Gateshead Council sold East Sunniside Farm forty-five acres of the land were sold to the Woodlands Trust, who have planted numerous trees of various sorts. The name of the wood is Lotties Wood named after the caretaker of the White Elephant School, who was a well-known character in the village. Lottie lived in the cottage next to the school, the site of which is now occupied by two former police houses.
