Nine sunshine scenes from Hartlepool's Summers gone by - fancy a look at the Seaton amusements?

Would you hire a beach hut, head for a paddling pool or spend some money in the amusement arcades? Let’s remind you of the choices you had with a look at nine Summer sun options from years gone by.

Thanks go to the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service. We are hoping their photos will shed light on how Hartlepool people passed their time on a lazy hazy Summer day years ago.
