'''Hartlepool''' is a seaside and port town on the [[North Sea]] coast of south-eastern [[County Durham]], England. It has a population of around 93,000. The town has its origins in the 7th century, at which time present-day County Durham was the cradle for the development of [[Christianity]] in the kingdom of [[Northumbria]], when the [[monastery]] on the Hartlepool headland was founded.
== Culture ==
Hartlepool is mentioned in the popular [[Irish]] and American [[Folk music|folk]] song "Poor Paddy Works on the Railway" ("In eighteen hundred and forty two;
From Hartlepool I moved to Crewe"), which may date back to as early as the 1850s. A popular rendition of the song was released by [[Shane MacGowan]]'s band [[The Pogues]] in 1984.
