I'll have to keep searching

Search no further, Alan! Consult my topic on the Gibson family 'The Last of the Nailers'.

William Henry Gibson, born 1886, was the son of William James Gibson and his wife Sarah (nee Mostyn). He was a draper’s assistant at the Bedlington branch of Hedley Young in his younger days but aspired to the dizzy heights of ‘draper’ later in life. This is him outside of his shop on Front Street East:

 It’s easily recognisable from its arched windows as the former Dunns drapers - run by his aunt, Mary Ellen (his father’s sister) and her husband Lewis Dunn – just a few doors away from the Gibson family home.

You can just see a glimpse of those windows above the charabanc in the picture you posted above.
