11, 13 to 21 Percy Street

The buildings of Percy Street West are all brick structures, which are now used as shops and pubs. The designs vary from building to building, although a coherent style is maintained in several of the buildings. Number 11 stands out from the other buildings in the vicinity. It is a two storey brick building with an attic and stone decoration contrasting with the red brick material. The building is now divided into two shops, but was originally the premises of a carriage works and still bears the sign ‘Carriage Proprietors. T Howe & Co. Carriage Proprietors’. The building is also significant as the original home of the People’s Theatre when it was set up in the early 1900s as the ‘Clarion Dramatic Club’. LOCAL LIST
