				The Harbour of Refuge, Croft Terrace, Hartlepool was opened in 1847 although the present building was built in 1895.
It was often referred to as 'The Harbour' or 'The Pot House' as the outside was covered in glazed pottery tiles and in Autumn 2014, pub was officially renamed 'Pot House'.

The statue, by Shropshire artist Jane Robbins, captures the working class cartoon hero in a typically relaxed pose, but minus his trademark cigarette. The 5 feet high, bronze statue was unveiled on 28 June 2007. The £20,000 statue was funded by the North Hartlepool Partnership with the help of a £2,000 donation from the Daily Mirror, the newspaper in which Andy first appeared in 1957.
Reg Smythe, the creator of Andy Capp, was born and died in Hartlepool and based the characters on his own parents.
