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.
I was born in 1958 at the Hartlepool Grantully Nursing Home and my mum and dad lived at 31 Bailey Street with my two older sisters. Bailey Street has now been demolished and the Nursing Home is now closed. @@Billyg215
Same here Jackie a true monkey hanger from the headland Born bred at the headland in 1955. Where we still had the old gas street lights. Every one going for sea coal when word got around that the beach had plenty of it just ready to collect it.
Andy Capp was a character written originally by Reg Smythe who was born and bred in Hartlepool. He was born on the original side of Hartlepool and went to Galleys Field School.
I’ve traveled up from Brum to Hartlepool many times for work. And also leisure trips. A lovely place full of good people. Please don’t hold onto your prejudices go see for yourselves. It will surprise you.
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 .
It looks very depressing tbh.. I saved this video just to remind myself how fortunate I am, because I realized how dreadful just watching the video felt and humbled me very fast that I should appreciate my life😅
Absolutely right, no one with the option to leave WOULD live there - but be fair to those without either the resources or the ability to leave - they may not wish to be there either. Also I don't see people from the rest of Teesside queuing up to move to Hartlepool. When people from Skelton, Thornaby and Redcar look down on your town...well, is it time to re-assess?
@@occamraiser I’m pretty sure a poll of Hartlepool folk asked if they would move to any of the above would result in “ not if you paid me “ So looks like they are staying put 👍🏽 I notice how you never put boro , or Stockton in your post either If you used the above towns as a bench mark your standards must be as low as the brown stuff I stepped in walking down your street 🤣
I've worked in every area of the UK in my lifetime. A lot of different town and cities. Hartlepool has seaside, urban and countryside all within 10 mins walk of each other. There's people who would kill for that 😂
I used to attend the boys school that was attached to the Town Hall building. An absolutely astounding huge Victorian building, flattened to build a nondescript brick police station thats now unused for most of the time. A waste of our heritage.
Hey, me too, Paul. Mr Sirs - Physics teacher, Mr Phizackerlea - Chemistry, Mrs Saunders - Music, Mr Ure and Mr Lockey - French, Swimming and Rugby, Mr Richardson - History and Rugby (he played for Hartlepool Rovers), Mr Piper - Art, Mr Walmsley - Woodwork (he played the organ in the Town Hall when we sang in school assembly), Mr Knox - Maths and Chess, Mr Rawlings - Head of Tunstall Court Annexe, Mr Speck - English. Mr Whitehouse - Maths, Mr Cooper (I think) - Geography, and the fearsome Mr Howard - The Boss or Headmaster. I think his secretary was Mrs Saunderson but I could have her name mixed up with the music teacher (Raffia Legs). Mr Howard's secretary was also known as Vinegar Tits. Happy days.
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)
The "Mayor" was the Hartlepool fc mascot and dressed up on days of the football games in a monkey suit. Once he was elected Mayor, he gave up the monkey suit.
Its a dump , crime invested mess. People openly deal drugs all over the town highest amount of herion addicts in the country, famous for having 9 foodbanks and Highest council tax in the country
Some kind, affectionate words for our town; what a refreshing change. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks depressing just from watching this video..
I know someone that lives in Hartlepool, I love their accent, I wish I had one. Hello from Toronto, Canada.

Too late. All you can do is marry a hartlepool person 😂 good luck
Visited Hartlepool and Seaton Carew on a visit from America just last week and had a great time. Lovely people, great museum, amazing food.
Glad you enjoyed yourself. Same as me!

@@funghazi The best fish and chip shop is down at the Headland called Verrills there is always queues to get their fish and chips there.
@@Billyg215 Ah, I didn't see that one, looks like it's near the Battery Museum.
Been from Hartlepool you made our town look good 👍🏻
Great town, lived here for 64 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
The £10 is to access were the big ship is and can go on it in the old west quay and see a old town etc as the museum is free
My 2x great grandfather was a sailor on that ship HMS Trincommalee
Born and raised here.
My home town. ❤ x
The monkey is a popular urban myth.
I was born and bred in Penrith Street in 1955 and hope to get back down to the headland where i have family still living there.
It could have been a powder monkey from of a Froggie ship.@@jackiegeritz5345

Great showcase of a lovely town - I live there, so biased - a bit ;)
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks very nice.
Thanks for a review that didn't slag the town
Nice video, enjoyed it.

The monkey was probably a powder monkey, a young lad who carried gunpowder to the cannons
No it was real monkey believe me I live near Hartlepool.
@@graemenicol6377 silly idea as it was a sea faring port so would have known about foreigners. (Also I am from the town)
@@ianmason2296 the problem is all Hartlepoolers are idiots unlike us yackers.
@@ianmason2296 the problem people from Hartlepool aren't sensible enough to know the difference unlike us Colliery lot.
@@graemenicol6377 It was a real monkey believe you because you live near there?..🤣 It’s just a legend
I was born in Hartlepool, but my family moved to Canada when I was young. Glad they did.
Did you stay in Hartlepool and let your family go to Canada as they did ???? and left you all alone It`s what i read from your comment..
@@Billyg215 No, I moved to Canada with my family in 1973, I was 2.

WISH I WHERE THERE
1:29 come on mate I can see the shine of oil.
Nothing wrong with Hartlepool any day of the week
The £10 lasts 12 months, bargain, its a great museum
They thought the monkey was a French spy, 100%.
5:56. A little drive to the headland. A Hartlepool joke. The road network never really encouraged a drive to the headland.
But a good walk did.
Why you pronounce h as hitch m s? Not hms sir.
It`s not hitch it`s aitch. Why karnt yew pronownce Inglish like us edlanders doo
Why didn’t you visit the Marina ?
Your literally the only person to be impressed with hpool.
I loved Hartlepool! Been there couple of times. People are so friendly and polite, very clean town too.
@@ttee4338 Clean town are you mad??
It is something but clean
Only some parts are clean the rest looks like a tip
I also loved really friendly ppl compared to the majority of the UK similar ppl to Newcastle & Glasgow
So of all the far-flung places in the world Celines travelled with you to... she drew the line at Hartlepool? 😉
Haha. Yes! But she was in Ireland with her family, otherwise she’d have enjoyed Hartlepool. Maybe
@@JasonSmartTravel 😂

Totally agree.
Every Town and City in this country people sell drugs openly now.
Is it true that Hartlepool's nickname is Fartlepool?
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO
It`s called fartlepool and pebble dash the pot due to the amount of beer is drunk here.
Don't come to Hartlepool. Ever.
By the sound of it you live in Hartlepool and don`t like living here if so sod off out my home town.
@@Billyg215 Alright tough guy. Suppose you think illegal immigrants murdering pensioners is a nice place to live do you...
Hardly any people around - I presume it was a Sunday?
It was better up until about three years ago when it became little Africa. We had a good run...
The place is a bump don't know why anybody would want to go there.
