An interior view of the derelict station, including the main platform for passengers, and a shorter section which was presumably used for goods work. Note the overlapping panels in the bay window on the left - was this the Station Master's Office?

A series of photographs showing the derelict (Old) Hartlepool Headland Railway Stations. Images 2 and 6 are interior views of the first Headland station which can be seen on pre 1950s maps as a curved building. On the 1914 map it is labelled Goods Shed. This station was built around 1840.
Image 4 shows Commercial St at the left hand side of the picture, the old station is in the centre and on the right, the large building was an ice house for the fish quay. The Palladium Theatre (1912)/ New Theatre Royal (1868)/ Empress (1899) is in the background with the distinctive air vents on the roof.
