We have 8 Hartlepool Mail archive photos which show town criers in all their finery in years gone by.
Don’t they look great. We want to know more about these colourful scenes and we are sure you can help.
So whether you were looking grand outside the Grand Hotel in 2009 or standing tall at a Seaton Carew Victorian fair in 2015, we have it all.
