More detail »Park Road Hartlepool is a mile long. The lower part, in particular from Stockton Street to York Road, has always been largely a business area, whereas the upper part is mainly residential. There are many substantial detached and semi detached homes, mainly of Victorian and Edwardian build which are fairly expensive properties.
