The two men on the left are on the corner of Park Street and the next street on the left with Ward Jackson School beyond is Rokeby Street. On the right, the street visible between the terrace of shops is York Street. The view taken in 1955 looks towards The Central Stores.

The photo was from a photographic record of the Central Area of West Hartlepool prepared in 1955/6 at the request of the Town Planning and Redevelopment Committee 'in the hope that it will be of interest to future generations of West Hartlepool'  

The record focuses on areas which were within the next ten years to be completely redeveloped following The Max Lock Plan. It was compiled by WL Taylor and photographs developed by Thomas Clarkson Chemist of Tower Street.

The picture is dated 1940. On 19th- 20th June, the Musgrave St area was badly damaged and it was the first of many raids on the town. Four highly explosive bombs were dropped on the area and amazingly only one man and one woman were killed although there were many more  injured. Four shops, six houses and the Central Hotel were completely demolished and 30 shops, 63 homes, one pub and St Joseph's School were badly damaged. Over 100 other buildings were damaged.
