The story of Hartlepool is, of course, the story of three towns: the
ancient Hartlepool clustered around the Headland, the thriving new
Victorian town of West Hartlepool and the amalgamated Hartlepool
comprising old and West Hartlepool. Hartlepool History Tour is a unique
insight into the illustrious history of these three north-eastern towns
in one, their well-known streets and famous faces, and explains what
they meant to local people throughout the nineteenth and the twentieth
centuries. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch
the changing face of Hartlepool as authors Paul Chrystal, Stan Laundon
and Simon Crossley guide us through the local streets.
