I drive to Hartlepool to see the sights of the Marina, the centre, Headland and even the seaside of Seaton Carew.

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

If you want to borrow my accent you can do. From a true monkey hanger born and bred on the Headland since 1955. A true Cod head as some people call us.

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.

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 .

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)
