Opened in 1841 by the Stockton & Hartlepool Railway in Mainsforth Terrace, this terminus station was renamed West Hartlepool in 1848 and closed to passengers in 1880 when it was replaced by the current station. It continued for many more years as a goods station. View south along Mainsforth Terrace. The station building fronted the street where the flat roofed building now is.
