This building stands on the corner of the junction between Percy Street and Leazes Park Road, on the left of the picture here. There is an interesting sign marked out in brickwork for T Howe & Co, Carriage Proprietors. I believe that in Edwardian times, they were undertakers, and the shop front must have been altered later, post WW1 perhaps. The building must date back to some time in the C19, and is an interesting survival.
