About
About Hartlepool
Hartlepool ( HART-lih-pool) is an industrial port town in County Durham, England. It is governed by a unitary authority borough named after the town.
The first documented settlement was in 649 AD on the area now known as Headland, around the monastery of Heretu Abbey - St Hilda's Church now stands on its site. It was at the edge of a primeval forest now lost to coastal erosion, and deer came to drink from the freshwater stream, thus Heretu or "Hart-le-pool". It was a small fishing harbour, occasionally smashed up in the wars between England and Scotland or Cavaliers versus Roundheads, and didn't grow much because of competition from other ports. From the early 18th century Hartlepool exported coal from the South Durham coal fields.
