Open Homes workspaceAbout Hartlepool
Hartlepool is a County Durham coastal town with a long maritime history, built around an ancient headland settlement and a Victorian dock that made it a major shipbuilding and coal-exporting port. Its restored maritime quarter and the historic warship HMS Trincomalee — the oldest British warship still afloat — celebrate that heritage. Local legend tells of the townsfolk who supposedly hanged a monkey as a French spy, giving rise to the affectionate nickname 'monkey hangers'. Hartlepool offers an affordable seaside rental market.
