 Coal Dock
Coal DockWork on the harbour and dock at West Hartlepool began in January 1845. When opened on 1st June 1847 it covered an area of 8 acres. Among the earliest businesses to set up here were the shipbuilders Irvine and Pile, and Lauder’s timber yard and sawmill. The docks also provided refuge and shelter to a vast number of ships during gales. The first ship to enter the dock was the barque Prince, commanded by Captain Black, from Jersey.
