This and a selection of other 1940s images can be shared thanks to the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service.
Also pictured is damage to the greyhound stadium, two boys stood next to a British plane which had been shot down, two men sat astride some unexploded bombs in Elwick, and the collapsed roof of a Hartlepool hospital.
