"The parish, and royal borough of Hartlepool is situated on a rocky peninsula whose cliffs, on the north-east, east, and south, are washed by the German Ocean. On the south-west and west it is bounded by the large inlet forming its harbour; and on the north-west a narrow sandy isthmus connects it with the parish of Hart. The area of the township is 137 acres; the area of the borough, since 1883, is 631 acres; and the total ratable value is £61,653."
