Hartlepool’s annual carnival is happening from Thursday, August 1, until Saturday, August 10.

As we celebrate the 101st Hartlepool Carnival, the Hartlepool Mail thought we would share some retro photos with its readers from the 1950s all the way through to 2018.

With carnival rides, a carnival parade and fireworks display, there is something for everyone.
