Plaque, The former Gardener 's Arms, Front Street East, Bedlington
This plaque, which forms part of the Bedlington Heritage Trail, is affixed to the building that was once the Gardener's Arms. The town of Bedlington is known the world over for the breed of terrier that bears its name. They were first bred here in the early 1800s, and were popular for sport. By the mid 20th century, the terriers were the sixth most popular dog in the USA. The Gardener’s Arms was at one time owned by a Ned Metcalf, who was a famed Bedlington Terrier breeder and, ironically, the property is currently occupied by Robson & Prescott Veterinary Surgeons.
