Cliff Terrace, old Hartlepool was built around the late 1830s and was a very prestigious address which became known as 'millionaires' row' locally. The first occupants of the terrace were shipbuilders and timber merchants. The houses, which have amazing views across the bay to Saltburn and beyond, have five storeys, one floor being large cellar rooms with entrance steps from the front garden.
