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.

The domestic suppliers and cycle shop was in Stockton Road towards St Aidan's Church. The man in the photo is John Taylor and he also began to sell and repair televisions. The photograph was probably taken in the late 1950s.

A view of the exterior of the church on Stockton Road. Premises now demolished

A rare picture of Westbourne Methodist Church showing the front of the original building without the current group of mature Trees. 

The picture is undated but prominent are the trolley bus posts and the houses at the bottom of Westmoreland Street are private homes and not shops as they were later to become. The prominent poster at the Church entrance cannot be read.

The buildings of the building business on the extreme right are now used by a garage business.

The image is taken from Westmoreland Street looking  across to the now demolished Westbourne Methodist Church. To the left of the large church is the church hall which was built alongside and is now used as both Westbourne Church and hall.
