Hartlepool Historic Quay

Bob is leading an assignment to Hartlepool on Wednesday 28th March. It costs £8.25 for an adult or £6.25 for over 60s and has free parking.

The website is http://www.thisishartlepool.co.uk/attractions/maritimeexperience.asp

"To visit the Historic Quay you need a Hartlepool's Maritime Experience ticket which incorporates a host of activities including HMS Trincomalee, The Historic Quay, and the Museum of Hartlepool & PSS Wingfield Castle. All for just one ticket price"

We should aim to arrive by 11:00 as this is the opening time for March.
