The side by side maps show where Haswell House was. The line of Stockton Road has not changed and can be seen on both maps. Haswell House was sold and the houses in Haswell Avenue and Whitfield Drive were built on the land.

The X shows Haswell House marked with a cross by a member of the Willson family who lived there from 1905-31.

On the left are some of the buildings of Foggy Furze Farm (sideways). Beyond that and before Haswell House, the two houses with chimneys are Malvern House and beyond that Orchard Cottage, both of which remain today. On the right hand side the houses and much of the wall remain today.

This image was probably taken about 1917 and is outside the conservatory at Haswell House. On the photo are George Willson, his wife Sarah and son Charles Norman Willson.

A rare photo of Haswell House in Stockton Road. The house was originally built and named Jackson's Lodge by Ralph Ward Jackson. He built it for John Pile,the shipbuilder, to entice him to the new town of West Hartlepool. When Pile left the town, it became the home of Thomas Furness, businessman and brother of Sir Christopher Furness the shipbuilder, who renamed it Haswell House after the maiden name of his wife. In 1905 it became the family home of the Willson family and they were the last occupants. 

In 1931 it was sold to be demolished and Haswell Avenue and Whitfield Drive now occupy the site.

The photo was taken circa 1906.

This photograph was taken in the paddock of Haswell House and shows Charles Norman Willson and his mother Sarah in the early 1920s. The buildings behind will be the stables and coach house block which ran along the line of Furness Lane where Haswell Avenue now stands. The building with the sloping roof on te right is POSSIBLY the Victorian bungalow which stands in Haswell Avenue today amidst the 1930s housing.

In te conservatory at Haswell House are Charles Norman Willson, George Willson's youngest son around 1919. The lady is probably his half sister Elsie.

By 1931, Haswell House had not been sold. This was possibly because the big villas at West Park had become the 'posh' part of town and also house building away from Victorian street houses had increased dramatically.

This 1931 advert from Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail shows te property for sale 'at demolition price'. George Willson , George by then lived at Denehurst over the road and this property exists today known by loacls as the Pineapple House.

In September 1921, Haswell House was for sale. George Willson son of George Willson who lived at Denehurst (now the Pineapple House) was selling the property. It remained unsold however.
