History

Hartlepool Headland showing the town wall built in the Middle Ages.

The Heugh Battery, one of three constructed to protect the port of Hartlepool in 1860, is located in the area along with a museum.[1]

The area made national headlines in July 1994 in connection with the murder of Rosie Palmer, a local toddler.[2]

On 19 March 2002 the Time Team searched for an Anglo-Saxon monastery.
