New Streets is a name for the area between Townhead and Scaws on the side of the Beacon Hill (or Fell), which consists of steep streets of some terraced housing, but mainly large detached and semi-detached houses, mostly laid out in the late 19th century. The streets are, from north to south, Graham Street, Wordsworth Street, Lowther Street and Arthur Street. The term is sometimes extended to include Fell Lane, which is actually the ancient east road from Penrith town centre to Langwathby), and Croft Avenue and Croft Terrace (dating from about 1930), which were not developed till later. At the foot of the streets is Drovers Lane, formerly Back Lane, which is sub-divided in parts into Drovers Terrace, Wordsworth Terrace, Lowther Terrace, Bath Terrace, Arthur Terrace, Lonsdale Terrace and finally Meeting House Lane. Running along the top of the streets is Beacon Edge from which extensive views can be seen over the town and towards the Lake District. Until the turn of the 20th century, Beacon Edge was known as Beacon Road. Apart from the streets up the fellside there are some that connect smaller housing developments between them. The fellside is known to have been used as a burial ground for victims of the many plague attacks that struck Penrith down the centuries. There are also areas that still have farming names, such as a wooded enclosure in Fell Lane is still known as the Pinfold (or Pinny), once used to house stray animals until their owners paid to claim them. One lane off Beacon Edge is still known as 'Intack Lane' (i. e. the lane to farmed land). Most of the land that formed the intack itself was used to form Penrith Cemetery.
