Middleton, Hartlepool
Middleton is an area of Hartlepool, in the Borough of Hartlepool, County Durham, England. It is on the North Sea coast between the centre of Hartlepool and The Headland. History and Etymology The area takes its name from a wealthy Wesleyan. In the medieval era it has long been believed to have served as part of both the sea and military defence for the harbour. However, as Hartlepool went into decline Middleton gradually lost its significance; by the late 18th century half of neighbouring Victoria and Commissioners Harbour was recorded as being half-filled in and used as a cornfield. In the early 19th century, Hartlepool's fate changed as the town began to industrialise, and the Grays, the Swansons, and the Jacksons began investing in the new docks that would emerge to the South, as the Dyke House Marshes where drained. Gradually Middleton re-emerged becoming more or less an island, in the centre of the new dockyards. Due to its prominent position, it seemed for some to be t ...
