Quick Facts OS grid reference, Unitary authority ...

It was formerly a civil parish with Throston near the Headland overlooking the Tees bay. The parish also covered inland farm areas such as Dyke House and West View; some included Throston in their names such as High Throston and Throston Grange. The parish was split in 1894 when the part outside the borough of Hartlepool became Throston Rural parish in Hartlepool Rural District. The rural parish existed until 1932 when it became part of West Hartlepool; the urban parish, part of Hartlepool since 1883, was abolished in 1936. [1][2] As Hartlepool developed the area is now mainly urban.
