So here’s some views of Hartlepool down the years, but from the sky.

The first, from an unknown date, shows Binns, Christ Church and the town centre. Who remembers this view and can you point out any other buildings?

A second shows the old greyhound stadium, Hartlepool College of Further Education and the Boilermakers Club which have all been demolished or rebuilt.

The third is from the 1930s and the Binns sign is clearly visible. So is Christ Church and the old bus station.

And lastly, can you identify any buildings in this aerial view of the docks, including the Grays shipbuilders offices and the Lynn Street buildings?
