About

Percy Main sits in North Tyneside as a compact neighbourhood that grew up with the coal trade in the 19th century. Rows of terraced houses and former pit workers’ cottages line streets laid out to serve collieries and wagonways that fed the River Tyne. Community life long centred on local institutions: a primary school, a community centre and small independent shops that serve day-to-day needs. A passenger station has stood at Percy Main since 1839, and the present stop on the Tyne and Wear Metro continues that transport link into Newcastle and the wider network.

Today the area mixes older housing with pockets of newer development and small public green spaces. Local routes and back lanes still echo the industrial pattern of streets set out for coal traffic, and some original boundary walls and yard entrances remain visible. The Metro stop and regular bus services make commuting straightforward, while community groups organise events from the hall and the school. The neighbourhood keeps a clear sense of its past alongside everyday urban life.
