Hi there from Berlin, germany. I was born in germany but my father is from hartlepool... he died a long time ago but sometimes i think and wonder about hartlepool and how it is like. Since i was there the last time 30 years ago (as 12 year old) and didn’t see very much. It was rainy and windy and very exotic from my perspective. Oh well...i remember fish and chips rolled into a newspaper. That’s quite funny. Bye bye
Fish and chips rolled into a newspaper certainly sounds like Hartlepool to me! (So does rainy and windy - but I'm sure you've had some nice sunny days by the sea there too!) I'm glad you got to see a glimpse of Hartlepool nowadays, maybe it brought back some of those old memories too :) Thanks for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
That's some delightful shots of Christ Church. How on earth did you organise getting to Hartlepool on a (fairly) sunny, dry day? Nuff respect on that. I've lived in the north for fifty years and never witnessed that in Hartlepool. I'm both grateful and have huge respect for your local history lessons. ❤❤❤ 🙏
Lovely video of my home town I still recognise a a lot of places. My parents were married in Christ church. We used to live next door to Cameron brewery . Good memories thank you😍
Nice walk in the town. I enjoyed it very much on a sunny day 😎. Your walks are always wonderful and historical. I like when you give the history of every towns and cities you go to visit. I like when you show medieval buildings and cathedrals. Hope to see more of your live walks soon. Have a great day 😀
This was fantastic, I’m from the town and I watched this all the way through. I love how you include the history of the town etc, I never knew the first abbey dated back to 640AD!! Thank you for the video, I’ll look forward to the next ones👍😃
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Hartlepool is indeed a fascinating place and it has a very, very long history :)
Very helpful video. I’m visiting Hartlepool right now and mostly followed your walking route today. Tomorrow will do the Headland so thanks for that one too. Your narrated walks are far better than the silent ones, simply because it’s hard to concentrate on the video scenes and read the text at the same time 👍.
I live near Chester le street and local history is becoming a bit of an obsession in retirement , along with cycling . I like the both the style and content of your videos and since at least a dozen of the towns you cover are within a days ride , I am planning some bike trips and will definitely follow your routes at each destination feeling quite knowledgeable . Please do some more within a 30 mile radius of Chester le street so I can super fit this year .
Good Vid lots of information, these are the streets I used to roam as a lad and deliver newspapers. I don’t live there now but will always be a Hartlepool lad ,, born near the Nursery Inn as my local.
Thanks! I hope this video brought back some nice memories of Hartlepool of old, and of new! As you say there's lots to discover and learn about on these streets too :) Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Actually, Grays first shops were on the Headland and Greatham. Gray lived next door to shipbulder, John Punshon Denton on Cliff Terrace, they eventually became partners and when Denton died Gray took over. Grays built the first six tankers for the newly formed Shell Oil Company which he retained shares in
Thank you so much! There's a whole lot of history to Hartlepool that many people might not know about, so I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video :) Thank you for watching!
Thank you for an informative video. Just a small correction. Whilst The Northern School of Art (in its various earlier guises) has operated from Church Square since 1938, when it took over the former boys’ school building, it has been in the town in various other locations since 1874, first operating from rooms in the Athenaeum building on Church Street.
How very interesting! Thank you so much for the information, I really didn't know that! Hartlepool has quite the long history in the arts it seems :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed this video!
Bravo for each of your steps as well as your eyes and your historical explanations of your destinations. Very brave, Thank you from the north of France
Thank you very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - there's a lot that makes Hartlepool a fascinating place indeed! Thank you for your very kind comments :)
4:15 That building on the right, old town hall, has received further arson damage. The opposite side corner ( visible at 8:46 )was set alight about a month ago in November 2023 and the entire top floor and roof burned to a crisp and caved in. Three 15 year old lads were arrested, two of which I went to school with 😂 Plus there was a pair of stabbings and one fatality within the last 2 months. One at the green seen at 10:15 where the victim unfortunately died and one on the corner seen at 6:10 under the brown building with the white strip. I believe that victim survived.
It's a great town! And the Headland is too - I'll be making sure to make a video up there one day too :) Thank you so much for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
It's a lovely looking place, that I would gladly tune if I were rich, but what is baffling is the sirens... all the time, with a fairly small town like this.. makes you wonder what is going on there if it's really that constant as it sounds in this random video..
I'm rarely in the town centre so I wondered about the sirens as well, but I think it was probably ambulances. We have no A&E department, and emergencies have to be taken to North Tees in Stockton which is a very sore point for those of us who live here.
@@jenlovesbooks I'm looking at Hartlepool as a potential place to live, as my town Chelmsford is far to expensive to buy a house. Are the housing estates bad, as I am on a small budget? Thanks, PS the town looks just fine to me.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the video - there's a lot of great history in Hartlepool, and it's certainly worth a visit and a walk around:) Thank you for watching and especially for subscribing - it really helps me out!

I'm with you on that one - county borders can get a little confusing on Teesside what with all the changes over the years! But it's true - Hartlepool still has a TS postcode even though it's located quite a way into County Durham :) Thanks for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Cleveland only lasted from 1974 to 1996. It was abolished with all land south of the River Tees going back into Yorkshire eg Middlesbrough, Redcar and Saltburn, and land north of the Tees going back to Durham (eg Stockton and Hartlepool). Cleveland was hated from the start so seeing it dissolved was inevitable
Teesside was never a county despite all the hype. It was a County Borough entirely within Yorkshire from 1968-1974 replaced by the abolished Cleveland' which was always part of the North Riding of Yorkshire in any event. TS is the postcode for the Yorkshire town of Middlesbrough and parts of County Durham such as Billingham ,Hartlepool and Stockton.
So nothing to do with the fact that young boys in the ships were also known by the name of powder monkeys due to their job being to run about carrying gun powder for the cannons 😆
That's another famous theory for the term! The one with the monkey hanging is a little on the stranger side which is why I enjoy it a little more - but you're absolutely right, powder monkeys could be the origin of the nickname :) Thank you so much for watching and your helpful comment - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Hartlepool votes don't just give Labour your vote think of what they have done and forgot why they come into existence to look after the working class we need to give them a shock not to think huh it's just the NORTH EAST they vote for us anyway
This was a poor representation of, Hartlepool Seaton carew was not shown also the marina was not shown properly and the historic headland were not shown. And we do have more police vehicles than shown. 😁🇬🇧
You walked along all the wrong streets pal , and you didn’t even give the war memorial a kind look. I think you are from Middlesbrough, or you are still wet behind the ears , you don’t know much to speak of .

I’ve been here a few times got a m8 up there
It's a great place! I hope you enjoyed this video - and thank you for watching :)
Can someone please tell me why only few people on the streets???
Filmed during Coronavirus lockdown, so not many people on the streets. Or could have been filmed on a Sunday morning, it's usually quieter then.
Sunday morning ?
Hartlepool is still a very English town, not much immigration, a great place to live.
Are immigrants welcome?
Asylum seekers are sent here from time to time . After a week or so they usually ask to be sent
back to Syria .!
@@2msvalkyrie529 how about an immigrant worked for British Army and serve british citizens?
