Hartlepool Town Wall & Cannon
19th Century Cannon
Situated in Hartlepool's Headland keeping a watchful eye looking out to sea, the cannon was captured from the Russian Army at the siege of Sebastopol during the Crimean War and presented to the town by Lord Panmore in 1857.
The Town Wall
Still in existence today guarding the Headland, built to keep out raiding Scots in the 14th century. Some parts of the wall date back to that period including the historic Sandwell Gate which can still be seen - it is over 8ft thick at this point.
Both of these are well worth a look!
