Hartlepool, Seaport and administrative center in County Durham, England
The limestone peninsula of Hartlepool extends into the North Sea, containing both the historic town center and modern industrial facilities along the coastline.
In 1201, the prince-bishops of Durham granted Hartlepool its charter, establishing it as an important medieval fishing port on England's northeastern coast.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Hartlepool presents maritime exhibitions that document the region's seafaring traditions through artifacts and naval vessels.
The unitary authority provides extensive public services, from waste management to education, while maintaining free weekend parking in designated areas.
During World War I, Hartlepool endured a German naval bombardment in December 1914, resulting in 117 casualties and structural damage across the town.
