An inner harbour was formed when part of the harbour basin was

walled. (See plan) (4) (See NZ 53 SW 14 for Medieval Town Wall).
The harbour wall ran from the North Gate (See NZ 53 SW 14 2) to the

the promontory opposite, forming the main entrance. (2-4)

The Old Harbour, Hartlepool, is completely surrounded by modern
quays and shows no traces of antiquity. (5)
