Of No Fixed Abode: Uncle Albert from Percy Main

By Michael A. Hutchinson

This is a biographical account that traces the bare bones of the life of my oldest paternal uncle from Percy Main on North Tyneside. The book is a sequel to 'Charlie, Son of Percy Main' and takes the reader on a journey from an impoverished childhood in an impoverished but tight-knit community adjoining the neighbouring ship-building and coal-exporting port of North Shields. Albert loses both his parents by the time he reaches 26 and becomes a 'loner' who soon lands up homeless and in trouble. He moves south and struggles to survive, relying on his wit and guile to find shelter and food. A spell 'inside' finally helps him to 'reform', but at the expense of disuniting other family-members.
