HARTLEPOOL.
HARTLEPOOL is a municipal and parliamentary borough, market and union town, head of a county court district, parish, railway station, and seaport, 250 miles from London, 12 north-north-east from Stockton, and 21 east-south-east from Durham: it is in the southern division of the county, north-eastern division of Stockton ward, rural deanery of Stockton, and archdeaconry and diocese of Durham.
The town is situated on the Hartlepool section of the North Eastern railway. The Hartlepools were constituted a parliamentary borough, returning one member, by the "Representation of the People Act, 1867," and comprise the municipal borough, and the townships of Throston, Stranton (including West Hartlepool) and Seaton Carew.
The town was first incorporated by Royal Charter in the reigns of John and Elizabeth; the present incorporation is under a charter of 5th and 6th William IV. cap. 76, and was placed under the regulations of the Municipal Act by charter, dated the 5th of December, 1850. The corporation consists of a mayor, four aldermen and twelve councillors; the town council are also the Local Board of Health (Act 1848): it has a commission of the peace: there are six borough magistrates, together with the mayor and ex-mayor, who are ex-officio: the magistrates' sittings are held at the Borough buildings every morning (except Sundays) at 9.30 a.m. for ordinary business, and for trying cases under the Summary Justice Act, 18 and 19 Victoria, cap. 126: they also hold a petty sessions every alternate Tuesday at 12 o'clock.
The town is paved and is lighted with gas, and well supplied with water of excellent quality from the works of the Hartlepool Gas and Water Company. The police arrangements are under the control of the Watch Committee of the corporation.
The town of Hartlepool, which has become one of maritime celebrity, is of great antiquity, its records going far back into the old Saxon times. The earliest mention of the place occurs A.D. 640, when, as Bede relates, Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, sanctioned the foundation of a nunnery at Herortha, or the 'Isle of Harts,' by a religious Irishwoman, named Hien, or St. Bega, who is stated to have been the first lady among the northern tribes who assumed the monastic veil. On St. Bega leaving Hartlepool, a few years subsequently, she was succeeded by St. Hilda, a daughter of Oswy, king of Northumberland, who afterwards removed with her nuns to the vale of Whitby.
After undergoing the usual fate of towns and monasteries on the east coast of England; after being twice plundered by the Danes, and as many times by the Scots, Hartlepool still continued to be what Camden terms it, a famous emporium (emporium celebre), and received and obeyed many a royal summons to furnish ships and men for the continental wars. In the reign of King John the town obtained a charter, by which the inhabitants were made free burgesses, and entitled to enjoy the same liberties and laws as the free burgesses of Newcastle-upon-Tyne: this charter Queen Elizabeth confirmed at the suit and request of Lord Lumley, in 1593.
In 1614 Hartlepool was described as being the only port town in the county of Durham; and at the commencement of the great civil war it was still the principal harbour and shipping place of the bishopric; but, being like Newcastle, Tynemouth and Stockton, a royal garrison, it was besieged and taken by General Leven and the Scots army, and having been held by them for some time as a garrison and magazine, it was delivered up to Parliament, who ordered its fortifications to be destroyed: from that time its trade declined till it became little more than a fishing village; still, however, retaining its charter, with a shadow of a municipal corporation.
In 1681 the chief offices of the customs were removed to Stockton, leaving the town with nothing but a coast office for the clearance of ships.
An Act of Parliament was obtained in the year 1818 (53 Geo. 3), appointing Improvement Commissioners (the Pier and Port Commission) for the repair of the old pier, town and walls, with power to exact tolls from every vessel using the port, and a fortieth part of the rental of every house in the township of the annual value of £5 or upwards. In 1831 another step in advance was taken. Coal, of first-rate quality, having been discovered north-west of Hartlepool, under the magnesian limestone, a railway and docks were projected to connect this coal field with the sea. The Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company was accordingly formed, and in the following year an Act of Parliament was obtained, authorizing the construction of a dock, to include, with the inner harbour, 60 acres, the estimated expense being £209,000: on the same day another Pier and Port Act was passed, sanctioning additional harbour works, abolishing some of the former tolls, and substituting additional ones.
The Hartlepool railway was opened for traffic July 6th, 1835, the “Hartlepool” packet being the first vessel loaded with coals in the harbour; and the New, or Victoria Dock was opened 7th of November, 1840, and this previously obscure and languishing fishing village became transformed into a thriving and important place of trade. In June, 1837, a new Pier and Port Act was obtained, authorizing the Commissioners to borrow further sums of money, and defining the boundaries of the Harbour Commissioners’ and the Dock Company’s jurisdiction.
The number of ships entering the port to load and for refuge in 1836 was 1,278, whilst in 1877 the number was 3,526, and the quantities of coal shipped during the first mentioned year was 166,396 tons, and 561,050 tons during the last mentioned period, and for the half-year ending June 1878 the quantity was 244,655 tons. For the year ending October, 1878, the imports were 28,679 tons, exports 3,208 tons; the quantity of wheat imported during the same period was 3,664 quarters.
The railway terminus here was made by the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company, and is now leased to the North Eastern Railway Company.
The port and harbour of Hartlepool is under the jurisdiction of thirteen commissioners, namely, five appointed by the North Eastern Railway Company as proprietors of the East and West Docks; one appointed by the Board of Trade; one elected by the West Hartlepool Improvement Commissioners; one elected by the Corporation of Hartlepool; three elected by the shipowners of the port of Hartlepool; and two elected by the exporters and importers of the port: the commissioners have jurisdiction over the bay and part of the old harbour: about 16 years ago they built 720 feet of a breakwater, designed by Messrs. Walker and Robinson, for the protection of the entrances to the East and West harbours; this breakwater starts from the east corner of the Headland, and extends in a south-easterly direction: in 1870, after obtaining the necessary parliamentary power, the commissioners entered into a contract with Messrs. H. Lee and Sons, of London, for a further extension of 600 feet, and this work, since June, 1873, has been carried on by the commissioners themselves, under the superintendence of Mr. Howkins, of Granton, as consulting, and Mr. William Belk as resident engineer: the whole of the extension is to be built of concrete blocks, while the face is also of concrete of a superior kind: the first section was cased with sandstone ashlar. In the beginning of 1870 the commissioners having purchased a powerful dredger of improved construction, together with extensive dredging plant, set to work to deepen the approach to the old harbour, which is less exposed to the violence of easterly seas than the entrance to the West harbour, and the result of their labours was soon made manifest: the depth of the water over the bar, which was only 4½ feet at low water of spring tides at the end of 1869, was increased to 12½ feet at the end of 1877: the difficulty of maintaining a considerable depth of water will, in all probability, be diminished by the extension of the breakwater seawards. Besides the sea-works above mentioned, the commissioners have in their jurisdiction the large lighthouse called the Heugh lighthouse, which was erected in 1846-7, from designs furnished by Stephen Robinson, esq.; the foundation stone of the tower was laid on the 12th August, 1846, and the light first exhibited on the 1st October, 1847: the tower is an elegant shaft, of white sandstone, tapering from a base of 24 feet diameter to a diameter of 16 feet under the projecting balcony; the height of the tower from the ground to the top of the gallery is 48 feet, and ten feet more to the centre of the light, which is 84 feet above high water mark; the lantern is 14½ feet diameter, and 10 feet high in the glazed part: the cost of tower, lantern and lighting apparatus, including a tide light on the same principle, at an elevation of 61½ feet above high water was £3,200; for the security of the lighthouse it was found necessary to defend the face of the cliff on which it stands with masonry set in cement, which cost £2,100: lightkeepers’ cottages and other erections, £450; making the total expenditure, £5,750. The higher and larger light is a stationary white light of the first order, the lower, or tidal one, being a stationary red light of the fifth order: the large light is exhibited during the whole night, from sunset to sunrise; but the red light is only shown at night between half-flood and half-ebb tide, as a signal when ships may enter the harbour; and a large red ball is hoisted to the head of a mast attached to the lantern as a day signal for the same purpose: both lights are produced from coal gas, and so directed by optical apparatus as to send forth the light in a plane nearly parallel to the horizon. The commissioners have also the working of a ferry for the conveyance of passengers from Hartlepool to Middleton and West Hartlepool.
The parish church of St. Hilda is an ancient structure, occupying an elevated situation, and forms a conspicuous object on the coast: it is supposed to occupy the site of a more ancient edifice; it consists of chancel, nave, with chancel aisles, and massive square tower; the latter is supported by buttresses of great strength and thickness, and ornamented by two tiers of Pointed arches, and surmounted by an embattled parapet, with crocketed pinnacles at each corner, and contains 3 bells: the doorway on the south side, protected by a handsome memorial porch, is a fine specimen of the late Norman or Transition period: the principal entrance, through the tower, long closed up, has been opened out: the interior of the church is well proportioned, the nave being 85 feet in length by 44 in breadth; each of the aisles is formed by five pillars, supporting Pointed arches, above which rises a lofty clerestory, containing on each side five Early English windows set in exterior arcades: the nave and chancel are separated by a lofty arch of fine proportions: in 1867 the nave was restored, the floor lowered, so as to show the bases of the piers, a new roof was put on, and the whole re-seated: in 1869 the chancel was also restored and enlarged to something approaching its original dimensions; it is now 45 feet in length, with aisles corresponding with those in the nave, and has a richly and deeply arcaded clerestory, lighted by three windows on each side: the entire length of the church is 130 feet, and in the nave and chancel are several stained windows: in March, 1872, a fine organ was placed in the north-west arcade of the chancel aisle: the font, which was presented to the church in the beginning of last century, is an elegant basin of Yorkshire marble: there were formerly several chantries belonging to this church. The register of the parish dates from the year 1560. The living is a rectory, yearly value £350, in the gift of the vicar of Hart, and held by the Rev. Edwin Robert Ormsby, M.A., T.C.D. surrogate, and domestic chaplain to the Earl of Castlestuart.
Holy Trinity church is a handsome stone structure in the Decorated style, and consists of chancel, nave, aisles, with north and south porches, having deeply moulded doorways and seats: the vestry and organ chamber are on the north side, and at the west end is a small turret containing 2 bells: the pulpit is of Caen stone, carved: the foundation stone was laid by J. P. Denton, esq. on the 22nd August, 1850: the site was given by the trustees of the late Duke of Cleveland: the edifice, with its fittings, cost £2,635. The vicarage house, a pleasant and commodious brick building, is adjoining. The register dates from the year 1851 The living is a vicarage, yearly value £300, in the gift of the vicar of Hart, and held by the Rev. Edwin Shaw, of St. Bees.
St. Mary’s Catholic church was erected in Brougham street in 1850, and opened for service in August, 1851: the cost of erection, including priest's residence and site, amounted to nearly £4,000, the greater part being raised by subscription: the exterior is plain, in the Transition Norman or First Pointed style, and stands east and west, the tower with spire being at the east end, and the altar is placed at the west: the church is entered at the east end and south side, the former being richly carved, and the building consists of apsidal chancel, nave, with clerestory, aisles and tower containing 3 bells: the entire length is 121 feet, with a breadth of 43 feet, and is lighted by 36 windows, exclusive of those in the staircase: the altar is of stone, standing upon five pillars, richly carved and ornamented: the roof of the chancel is in the Byzantine style; the pulpit is of stone: it has a good-toned organ.
The Baptist chapel, situated in Church walk, is a stone building, erected in 1851, at a cost of about £700, and is capable of seating 300 persons.
The Wesleyan chapel, situated in Northgate street, was erected in 1839, and enlarged in 1868, at a cost of £1,100, and will now seat 730 persons: an organ and warming apparatus have been added, and a building for day schools erected at the rear of the chapel.
The Primitive Methodist chapel, situated in Brougham street, is a commanding edifice of stone, erected in 1851, the total cost, including residence for the superintendent minister of the circuit and Sunday schools and other additions, has been £2,700: there are sittings for 900 persons.
The United Presbyterian church is a stone building in Hart street, and was erected in 1839, at a cost of about £800, and has sittings for 500 persons.
The Methodist New Connexion chapel, situated in Church close, is a commanding brick building in the Italian style, erected in 1859-60: the ground floor of the chapel is 6½ feet above the level of the street, and is approached by moulded stone steps: the building is 72 feet long, with a breadth of 43 feet, and is capable of seating 750 persons: below the chapel is a well lighted and lofty school-room with class rooms: the entire cost of the building, including the site and organ, was near £3,000.
The United Methodist Free Church, in Lumley street, was erected in 1852: there are sittings for over 500 persons; the Sunday schools are adjoining.
The Congregational chapel, situated in Brougham street, was erected in 1842, at a cost of £1,200, exclusive of site: there are over 400 sittings; the chapel-keeper's residence is underneath the chapel. Here is a library, in connection with the Sunday school, containing 400 volumes, and the school is attended by about 300 scholars.
There are Sunday schools in connection with each place of worship.
The Prissick's schools were founded by Elizabeth Prissick, who died in December, 1826, with an endowment of about £200 yearly: there are three of them, one for boys, another for girls, and a third for infants: these schools, although connected with the Church of England, have been constituted public elementary schools under the Elementary Education Act of 1870.
Crooke's Endowed school was founded in the year 1755 by Ann Crooke, who, by deed, gave certain lands in the township of Stranton for the endowment of the same; the clear rents of the estate are to be applied by the trustees for the instruction of such a number of poor boys, and providing them with books and writing materials, as the rents will afford: there are at present 65 boys on the foundation, who receive their education free. The lease of the old school premises in Sunnyside having expired, the trustees purchased a site at the corner of Brougham and Moor streets, whereon they erected, in 1871, an entire block of new buildings: they include a residence for the master: the school-room is 56 feet in length, with a breadth of 20 feet; there is also a class room, cloak room, and lavatory, with large recreation ground for the boys.
The Hartlepool School Board have erected large and commodious schools in Church close, for 200 boys, 200 girls, and 225 infants; the offices of the board are in the same building.
The Borough Hall Market Buildings were opened in October, 1866: the principal front in Middlegate street is in the modern Italian style: it has a façade 120 feet in length, 34 feet in height, with a central turret and spire of 100 feet high: the red brick facings and dressings of Durham stone, with the carved stonework, add a richness of finish to the whole; the turret surmounts a lofty arched entrance to the market, which is in the rear of these buildings, and with second entrance and market keeper's lodge, extend backward to Union street. The block of buildings comprising the Borough hall is divided by the south avenue to the market, 18 feet wide: the eastern wing contains, on the ground floor, a private office (leased for a term of years to the Town Clerk), board room for the guardians of the poor for the Hartlepool union, offices for the superintendent registrar and relieving officer, and waiting room for applicants for relief, and offices for the Clerk to the Urban Sanitary Authority, and on the floor immediately above, reached by a central staircase, in oak, a council chamber, a lofty and well proportioned board room, the Town Surveyor's office, and office for the overseers for the parish of Hartlepool. The county court offices are in this block, the entrance being in the south avenue to the market. The western wing contains, on the first floor, a room 56 feet long by 27 feet wide, which is used as the county court and justice room: here are also magistrates' ante-room, magistrates' clerk's room, witnesses' and solicitors' retiring room: whilst below, in the front, is the residence for the chief constable, and at the back the police office and 6 prisoners' cells and airing grounds. The borough police force consists of a chief constable, 3 sergeants, and 10 constables. The space of ground occupied by these buildings and the market is 21,100 square feet.
Here is a charity called Henry Smith's Charity, which has existed for many years: it was much improved by a scheme passed by the Court of Chancery in the year 1855: the trustees consist of the rector of the parish of Hartlepool, the vicar of Holy Trinity, the mayor and aldermen of the borough of Hartlepool, and the churchwardens and overseers of the parish as ex-officio trustees, and nine other trustees elected from the town: the income is about £400 yearly, of which £100 is distributed annually amongst the poor of Hartlepool and in apprenticing poor children, £100 a year is given towards the support of the hospital, and the buildings called the Friarage are also allowed to be used for the purposes of the hospital, and £100 is given annually for educational purposes in the district of the Holy Trinity: a sum of 10 per cent. of the net income of the charity is also annually set aside for the purpose of protecting the headland of Hartlepool: if the income of the charity should increase, there are still further powers of promoting educational purposes. The extensive building called the Friarage, so called from the circumstance of its having been built on the site of a monastery belonging to the Franciscan friars, which was formerly used as a workhouse for the Hartlepool district of the Stockton union, was, in 1867, with the consent of the trustees of Smith's charity, allowed to be converted into an hospital, and is called the Hartlepool Hospital and Dispensary: there are beds for 40 in-patients, a new wing was erected in 1871 by Rowland Burton, esq. for accidents and surgical cases: there is a special detached ward for fever and small-pox cases: during the year 1877, 257 in-patients and over 400 out-patients were treated: the hospital is supported by voluntary contributions, and a levy on all vessels (according to tonnage) using the ports of the Hartlepools, and is governed by 25 managers.
The chief trade of the town arises from the shipping resorting to it for coal: iron ship building is carried on; there are also extensive boiler, engineering, brass and iron castings, and malleable iron works; steam sawing, planing, moulding, and corn mills; rope manufactory; glass bottle and cement works and breweries.
There is one newspaper, published every Saturday—the 'South Durham and Cleveland Mercury,' established 1851. Here are two banks—those of Messrs. Backhouse and Co. and the National Provincial Bank of England. The market day is on Saturday.
The Temperance Hall, situated in Lumley street, was erected in 1862, at a cost of £2,200: it comprises a hall, 68 feet by 44 feet, with a platform 30 feet by 15 feet, and seated for 1,000 persons; a lecture room, and club room; the large room is now let for concerts; the hall is the property of the Hartlepool Temperance Society.
The Durham Militia Artillery Depôt, situate in Baltic street, is a stone building, erected in 1861, with drill ground.
