From: Geoff Nicholson John: Percy Road/Street West runs west/east through a lot of Chirton and North Shields, even today. I would expect Percy Banks to have been the steeply-sloping district between that road and the river, now entirely built over. Failing that, there just might be a connection with Percy Main just about a mile west of N Shields. However, that was an old pit village, a little further from the river and, to me, "Banks" sounds like a steep hillside.
