According to a booklet by Ponteland Civic Society (August 2018) about the 26 framed old postcards shown around the interior of the inn:
"Built in the late 18th century, The Badger has served a number of purposes before welcoming the locals of the hamlet of Street Houses. Originally a gentleman's residence the pub was later split into three houses, which were occupied through the years by a succession of farmers, yeomen and a cattle dealer, before eventually becoming The Badger. The themed interior was provided with a large number of framed pictures, and no less than 26 of these comprised historic photographs of Ponteland. Most were derived from postcards; this booklet lists them and provides some background to the scenes illustrated".
