Location
The Central public house, Central Estate, Hartlepool was built in 1892 and had a licence by 1897. It was often known as 'The Klondike'. The pub was badly damaged in the 1922 Timber Yard Fire.
In July 1958, following a petition it was agreed that it could open Monday and Friday at 5 p.m. and Wednesday Thursday at 5.30 p.m. rather than the usual 6- 10 pm. hours in order to ' settle the dust of a day's labour' .
In 1981 it was demolished.
