Hartlepool Town Centre Walk | Let's Walk 2020

Join me for a walk around the seaside town centre of Hartlepool, or should I say West Hartlepool? Located on the North Sea coast in County Durham, what we know as Hartlepool today only came into existence in the last 200 years, originally known as 'West Hartlepool'.

On our walk around the town centre, we pass a number of interesting landmarks that tell us about the history of Hartlepool. We start by the Ralph Ward Jackson statue and Christ Church, and pass Hartlepool Art Gallery, The Northern School Of Art, The Wesley Building, The Grand Hotel, Hartlepool Memorial, Victory Square, Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre, West Hartlepool High School For Girls, Hartlepool United FC's Victoria Park, The National Museum of the Royal Navy, HMS Trincomalee and finally Hartlepool Marina.

Thank you so much to the following sites which really helped me in my research of the fascinating town of Hartlepool:
