Hartlepool History Then & Now

Freeman Street (West Hartlepool)

What we know about this image :

The view is from Whitby Street looking towards Lynn Street where Woolworths can be seen. The fire escape of the Empire is on the right. Most of the south side of the street was taken up with the Empire as the houses built in the mid 1800s were demolished when the theatre was built in 1909.
