Great video. My great uncle and great aunt Ernest and Margaret Dove ran the Cleveland Hotel in Northgate during and after the war years.

[@lesliekime7567]

Marvellous video, thank you, My locals were the Bridge and the Sun Inn on the headland.

[@Jamestyros4]

I played the organ at The Sun Inn around 1978! Also the Klondyke and piano in The Fleece, all in the Headland area. Happy days.

[@philholbrook4842]

Fantastic to see my Great Uncle, Thomas Holbrook, with his staff and drayman, outside the Commercial Hotel, on Hartlepool’s Headland. (Pre WW1)

[@HugoVan]

Do you still have the print ?

[@Billyg215]

The Bridge Hotel was my watering hole as i lived about 8 doors along Northgate from it. When Olive and John Doxford ran it.

[@Jamestyros4]

I played piano at The Fleece (Russ, the landlord) around 1977 and organ at The Klondyke (Peggy the landlady), and The Sun Inn. Happy days 😊

I had my first illegal pint in the woodcutter in middle lounge in 1974 as a school boy when one of my teachers walked in 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jamestyros4]

I remember as a child in the 70’s going to the Woodcutter off-licence with the empties for sweets! Happy days. 😊

[@nme9879]

I had my first pint in the brus, full of great characters, excellent video

[@stupidhandles]

It doesn't feel right the brus arms not being there anymore. It was a landmark, and a nod to Hartlepool history re the Brus clan

[@TheSilverFoxDoesStuff]

Great video guys X

[@HugoVan]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alisonhay5924]

Hartlepool born and lived directly oposite the causeway inn. And next door to Cameron brewery. Also remember the blacksmiths arms and a few other's as I got older.

[@johntuddenham9148]

There was a pub on Lysaghts steelworks site...we used to drink in in the late 50's....name?

[@nainka11]

Well done .. Thanks.... I believe Hartlepool had some sort of record amount of pubs for a given square mile.... something like 136.... Maybe someone knows the actual facts.

[@stupidhandles]

Yeah, there was a time, when The headland (old Hartlepool) had the highest density of pubs mer square mile) I believe it was around 36 not 136 though

[@foxystravels]

I've certainly drank in some of those :)

[@HugoVan]

and still do :-) I have added a credit to you on the description as I wasnt sure if a couple of the demolition ones may have been your

[@foxystravels]

@@HugoVan I think the Fleece one is. That might be my blue PT Cruiser outside my shop too.

[@Redparrot47]

Blacksmiths Arms

[@sensec1]

My ancestors ran The Causeway Inn in the 1880's ish I believe (2.04 min), I'd be interested in any old photos of it if anyone has any.

[@HugoVan]

My brother ran it in the 1980's

[@stupidhandles]

​@@HugoVanare you a Bell? I'm sure it was the Bell's who ran the causeway (Stanton) Paul Bell was in my class at school.
