Eight archive photos of Hartlepool's oldest pub over the years as The Blacksmiths Arms goes up for sale

From bungee jumping to a darts marathon – Hartlepool’s oldest pub has seen it all.

A ‘fair amount of interest’ has already been shown in keeping it as a pub and we are hoping to create a fair amount of interest with a look at these archive photos.

Hartlepool Mail photographers were there for events such as a 24-hour darts marathon in 2015 and a charity bungee jump in 2007.

A fundraising music festival got our attention in 2010 and so did a bicentennial beer in 2021.

So if you need a refresher on these scenes and more, join us on a journey into the past.
