But while we look back on 2003, who can remember what life was like in Hartlepool?
Here are some reminders from the Hartlepool Mail archives and we hope they bring back happy memories.
There’s a beer festival launch, Pools players celebrating a victory, a reminder of the 2003 Greatham Feast, and new starters pictured on their first day at primary school.
So why not take a look and see how many of these scenes you remember.
