Maritime Experience

Hartlepool Maritime Experience; After the demise of ship-building in Hartlepool, the former docks were redeveloped into a Marina. Part of this development was a dry dock and museum, this is a model of a small portion.

Dear John,

I really like the shop front. I guess the style must be pre-McDonald.

It looks like a sensitive redevelopment.

Regards,

Hello Bob, it was all built on derelict dockland, it was constructed around 20 yrs at a cost of £26 million along with the marina. 100 of "apartments" were built, the majority now rented as social housing (now thats progress). It staged the 2010 Tall Ships Race at a cost of £2.8 million to the local tax-payers - long live the council.
