Welcome to Percy Main

Percy Main is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. The village is situated on the north bank of the River Tyne, and it is bordered by the neighbouring villages of North Shields and Howdon. Percy Main has a rich history, and it was once a thriving industrial hub during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The village was home to several coal mines, shipyards, and engineering works, which provided employment opportunities for the local population.

Today, Percy Main is a quiet residential area, and it has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years. The village has a range of amenities, including a primary school, a community centre, and several local shops and pubs. Percy Main is also well-connected to the rest of the region, with easy access to the A19 and A1058 roads, as well as the Tyne and Wear Metro system. The village is a popular choice for commuters, as it is just a short distance from Newcastle city centre and other major employment hubs in the region.

Despite its small size, Percy Main has a strong sense of community, and there are several local groups and organisations that work to promote the village and support its residents. The Percy Main and District Local History Society, for example, is dedicated to preserving the heritage of the area, while the Percy Main Amateurs Football Club provides opportunities for local people to get involved in sport and social activities. Overall, Percy Main is a welcoming and friendly village that offers a high quality of life for its residents.
