 Occasionally, one of the workers would lean out of a window to call over children playing in the backlane between Hunter's Road and Ancrum Street to send them on an errand for sweets to Jenny Proctors sweet shop.A small twist of Victory V lozenges was a favourite purchase and the child running the errand would be rewarded with half a lozenge on their return.Later, Huntsmoor House was used as a warehouse by the Newcastle bookseller Thornes before being turned into student accommodation.
