The image is a circular plaque on a brick wall. The plaque is black in color and has the text "5 Summerhill Grove, Frederick Douglas, C. 1818-1895" written in white capital letters. Below the text, there is an illustration of a coat of arms with a shield and a crown on top. The text below the illustration reads "African American abolitionist, author and social reformer, one of many fugitive slaves who stayed here with the Richmond family, Henry Richardson, and his wife and sister, Henry Quakers. City of Newcastle upon Tyne." The plaque appears to be a commemorative plaque for Frederick Douglas.
