Fascinating discovery about HARTLEPOOL.
Well you learn something new everyday , i,m watching FLOG IT on tv and it,s from HARTLEPOOL .
Turns out the german navy bombarded hartlepool in the first world war killing 114 people . It was kept from the nation for weeks so as not to cause panic . Very interesting slot on the show showing the gun enplacements and a scale re-enactment of events .: |

And you can still visit the Heugh Battery, & the plaque where the first person killed in WW1 was.Even the gaps left by the bombardment to the terraced houses.

Quite right Harry, after the Blucher & other ships bombarded Hartlepool, they moved down the coast, shelling what they thought, were strategic targets.Killed a lot of civilians.
