Headland, Hartlepool

Headland is a civil parish in the borough of Hartlepool, County Durham, in the North East of England. The parish covers old Hartlepool and the surrounding estates.

The Heugh Battery, one of three constructed to protect the port of Hartlepool in 1860, is located in the area along with a museum.[1]

The area made national headlines in July 1994 in connection with the murder of Rosie Palmer, a local toddler.[2]
