Hartlepool

Hartlepool is a seaport town of Durham, in England, situated on a tongue of land which forms the Bay of Hartlepool, 4 miles north of the Tees estuary. The chief industries are shipbuilding, cement works, and a shipping trade, chiefly in coal and iron.

West Hartlepool lies on the opposite and south side of the bay, 1 miles distant, but practically forming one town with Hartlepool, and carries on a similar trade, but on a somewhat larger scale. The extensive docks, stretching between the two towns, cover an area of 300 acres.
