Beneath Hartlepool’s salt-sprayed skyline, the city’s bold concrete rises and centuries-old secrets echo through every street—a town shaped as much by scandal and ambition as by sea and stone.

This self-guided audio tour leads through hidden corners and headline moments, peeling back the layers at Middleton Grange Shopping Centre, the West Hartlepool War Memorial, the Borough’s power halls, and beyond. Wander at your own pace and discover tales even lifelong locals often miss.

Which mayor once swapped robes for a mascot suit and rewrote local history? What heated argument left its mark on Victory Square’s solemn granite? And how did shopping for umbrellas spark a town-wide transformation in the 1990s?

Let each story pull you forward—through whispers of rebellion, epic rebuildings, political upheavals, and forgotten triumphs—seeing Hartlepool through new eyes as you roam from marina to memorial.

Uncover the secrets waiting just behind familiar walls. Start walking into Hartlepool’s real heart now.
