Glad you enjoyed it

I know someone that lives in Hartlepool, I love their accent, I wish I had one. Hello from Toronto, Canada.

Visited Hartlepool and Seaton Carew on a visit from America just last week and had a great time. Lovely people, great museum, amazing food.

Did you go down to the Headland and enjoy the sea views as you walked along the promenade or the beach. It`s an ideal place to photograph the sun rises and sun set`s.

​@Billyg215 I did! After going to the Royal Navy Museum in the morning, my brother and I went down to Seaton Carew, got fish and chips from Almighty Cod and had a great time exploring the town and looking out at the sea. It was a beautiful warm day, pretty much perfect.

@@Billyg215 Ah, I didn't see that one, looks like it's near the Battery Museum.

I’ve traveled up from Brum to Hartlepool many times for work. And also leisure trips. A lovely place full of good people. Please don’t hold onto your prejudices go see for yourselves. It will surprise you.

Been from Hartlepool you made our town look good 👍🏻

The £10 is to access were the big ship is and can go on it in the old west quay and see a old town etc as the museum is free

every town in the country has good and bad parts so well done on focusing on the good parts . those moaning about the town , nothing is stopping you moving away as far as i see there are no fences holding you in . we are a short drive from the moors , a stones throw from a number of beaches . i couldn't think of anything worse than living in a city nowhere near either of them .

I did move. Greatest decision of my life. Hartlepool is a rancid, violent, drug filled shit pit.

Same here Jackie a true monkey hanger from the headland Born bred at the headland in 1955. Where we still had the old gas street lights. Every one going for sea coal when word got around that the beach had plenty of it just ready to collect it.

Thanks for a review that didn't slag the town

Hartlepool is a lovely town. Those who think it isn't haven't been to many other places!

Nice video, enjoyed it.

I was born in Hartlepool, but my family moved to Canada when I was young. Glad they did.

Nothing wrong with Hartlepool any day of the week

Also, Hartlepool elected a monkey as mayor of the town (twice) He ran on a ticket of free bananas for all. This isn't a joke Google it. He was very popular and successful, and did indeed provide free daily fruit for school children. The museum and quayside is well worth the entrance fee. I kept a boat in the marina for many years and was a member of the Hartlepool Small Crafts Club (briliant club and the steward "Les" was a top bloke)

5:56. A little drive to the headland. A Hartlepool joke. The road network never really encouraged a drive to the headland.
